The problem with solar energy
October 26, 2024
Solar energy has long been touted as the solution to fossil fuel, its affordability making it accessible to all. But even as it helps reduce carbon emissions, its many, little-known flaws and limitations are rising, and quickly becoming impossible to ignore.
Solar energy, once celebrated as the clean, affordable alternative to fossil fuels, has undoubtedly reshaped our approach to sustainable power. Its low costs and accessibility have allowed communities worldwide to reduce carbon emissions and embrace renewable energy. However, as solar installations spread, the promise of a flawless energy source is proving more complicated than anticipated.
Challenges like waste from decommissioned panels, efficiency drops in low-light conditions, and the environmental cost of production are becoming harder to overlook. These issues highlight that while solar remains crucial in the shift from fossil fuels, addressing its limitations is essential to make it a truly sustainable solution.
