Solar power works via physics. It relies on sunlight to heat water. After that, it either generates electricity via steam-driven turbines, or conductivity. I%26#039;m pretty sure it%26#039;s the second.

The advantages is that it%26#039;s energy efficient, helps conserve water, and basically help keep our world running.

The disadvantage is that solar power is somewhat difficult to generate; solar panel installation is costly, because a pipeline system around your whole house to move your water has to be installed. Also, although it doesn%26#039;t need fossil fuels, it does require a long time for assembly and construction. 0% 0 Votes

It is more expensive that traditional power. If it were cost competitive more of us would use it. 0% 0 Votes

solar power is a good alternative, saves a bundle of money,
but it can be expensive, very expensive.
