Top 5 Reasons to Use Solar Power

Energy is one of the hottest topics of twenty first century because development of nations today is gauged from the way they have progressed technologically. With the advent of modern machinery a novel source of energy was found in the form of petroleum, coal, kerosene oil and many other such derivatives.

However the excessive use of fossil fuel in industry and vehicles pollutes the atmosphere resulting in acid rain and many respiratory diseases. It is for this and other reasons that a growing number of people are becoming more and more interested in the use of alternate, environment friendly energy resources. This quest has pushed us to look beyond the norm and what could be the better option other than solar power itself.

Here are five reasons why we should use Solar Power are as follows:

Site of production

Solar energy is natural source of energy from which all organisms derive their energies. In this respect it is like a large battery charger which is ceaselessly feeding us all. Limitations of other forms of energy is that they can be produced at local sites or at specific points of globe but this source of energy can be utilized wherever light of sun can reach. It can be used to cook food, to light up a bulb, to run electricity in domestic as well as commercial use.

Source
Source of solar energy is Sun. Our sun is approximately 150 million kilometers from earth. Only a very low amount of sun energy reaches earth yet energy acquired in a single minute is enough to power earth for one complete year if we could find a way to properly utilize it.

Soil affectivity
Method of soil disinfection by solar energy was first described by Katan in 1976. The method basically involves mulching with polyethylene during hot weather which would kill most phytogens owing to achievement of lethal temperatures.

On the other hand, solar cell can be used to generate electric field in some cadmium contaminated soils for its removal. Utility of solar energy was found to be comparable to conventional power supply.

Eco friendly
It could be stated that solar energy is matchless when talk of green house gas emission is there. There is no more addition of carbon dioxide in atmosphere to cause global warming. Or havoc of Acid rains.

No depletion in the source
Solar Power is forever there. It is natural. It has been used in ancient times for drying; heating .now with knowledge of basic underlying processes we can use it for maximum human use and benefit. We only have to search ways and means of utilizing it. Keeping in view that, more than 2 billion of people in world are living without availability for electricity. This is their only hope.
