advantages and challenges of solar energy

solar energy has many different advantages and challenges. some advantages are there are no harmful byproducts, there is power in distant locations, and the energy can be stored. Solar energy is one of the cleanest known sources of energy. Remote places in the world that aren't connected to the power grid are able to receive solar energy because the sun shines everywhere. The energy can be stored and even see during the night when the sun is not out. Some challenges of solar energy are the cost, space,  location, and storage. Solar panels are extremely expensive to manufacture, and the repair and cleaning them is alot of money. solar panels take up a lot of space so there are difficult to use in urban areas. depending on where in the world you are, solar energy may be used more or less because of how long and strongly the sun shines in that particular location. solar energy cannot be transported over long distances.
