The Current State of Solar Energy

Solar radiation is the highest form of energy since it comes to us purely from the sun. There has
been more advancement in this industry hence improving its current state of solar energy in
many ways.

The population in the world is increasing at an alarming rate. Due to the increase In population
more power energy is required at household levels. Many families are rising, and therefore the
demand for power is becoming more significant than its supply. This situation has forced more
researches to be conducted on solar energy so that households can use this readily available
source power to satisfy their daily needs.

Alistair Kay, editor at Green Business Watch, is passionate about solar panels, but he knows
that he has to work hard to make this passion felt in the wider population. “We know that what
most people want to know about solar panels is how much money they will save as a result of
having them fitted to their homes. They want hard data.”

The unreliable supply of electricity in rural areas has been cubed in most areas of developed
countries through the use of solar panels. This helps provide their people living in these areas
with the ability to use their energy appliances without any problem.

Therefore, The government of developing and developed countries has seriously made some
milestone investments. The government gets involved by paying subsidies hence reducing the
cost needed in the solar installation. This has encouraged many households to install solar
panels in their homes and also offices. The cost of solar is minimal compared to other sources
of energy. Installation cost is the only high expense when you consider its budget.

Business people have taken an interest in this particular industry and they come up with
different ways of motivating customers to buy their products such paying in installments or
even selling the solar panels together with appliances such as radio and televisions.

Since the debut of the solar industry, there has been a considerable advancement. Scientist are
inventing new this regarding solar nearly every year.

The recent improvements in solar technology are

* The new tandem solar cell
* Transparent and flexible solar cells
* Solar glasses
* A water purifier that uses solar energy
* Light sensitive nanoparticles
* Built-in battery for solar panels

Solar power has helped people at a great deal, but the industry also has some throwbacks
which affect it from growing significantly. The first throwback is that a lot of power is used at
night in most households during this time there are no sun rays. Therefore, this forces the solar
companies to come up with big batteries that can hold power overnight without limiting users.

Another throwback is that the efficiency rating of solar panels is still lower than other sources
of power such as coal which is the most efficient fossil fuel. A lot has to be done to make solar
energy more efficient.

I cannot fail to recognize its success. Besides,the current high energy consumption rate has
been met by the use of solar plants. This has helped in reduction of the cost of production in
many industries hence people can get goods at affordable prices. The people living in rural

areas where it is hard to acquire other sources of energy are also using solar power to satisfy
their daily needs. This possibly is has made life more convenient for them
