Solar energy use in USA



Solar energy is an energy which comes from the sun. It could be used by controlling the light which comes from it then convert it to energy. After that restore it and use it.

The solar energy has some disadvantages and one of the most important disadvantages is that it needs a very wide open area and a huge number of solar panels because it produces low energy. Another disadvantage is that it doesn’t work in everywhere. The places which are suitable for the solar energy are where there is lots of sunlight. For example the cold areas can not use the solar energy.

However, although there are many disadvantages in using the solar energy, there are a lot of advantages on it. The most important thing is that the sunlight never dries unless if the sun died which means unlimited cheap source of energy. Another important advantage is that it is very friendly to the environment. In addition it can be used in many ways and it is easy to plug in any machine or device.

U.S is one of the countries who are trying to use and develop the solar energy. Although the largest available energy source in the U.S is the solar energy the percentage of using it for the electricity generation is 1%.

I think that the use of solar energy in the UAE would benefit it greatly, due to the large amount of sunlight we get all year long.

If this method of energy usage is to be implemented, it would mean less pollution, less electricity consumption, amongst other things

i agree with Saad about using solar energy in our country because we has large areas and the sunlight is always available during all seasons.

thinks aamer for your summary
