List at least 5 cons of solar panels. Be sure to explain what they mean.

Warriorz13:

@Vocaloid Thank you so much!

Vocaloid:

hm

Warriorz13:

I could only think of one con..

Vocaloid:

1. sunlight is not consistent (depends on weather, location, time of day, air pollution, etc)

Warriorz13:

And that was my one lol

Vocaloid:

2. it's difficult to store and transport (this is the biggest con, this makes it hard to replace traditional fuels)

Vocaloid:

3. pollution from batteries and panel production

Vocaloid:

4. panel installation is expensive (the more power you need, the more/bigger panels you must install)

Vocaloid:

5. they're not as efficient as other sources of fuel (only about 15-20% of sunlight is converted to electricity)

Vocaloid:

I hope that helps

Warriorz13:

Very much so!
