Cons

  Even though solar panels do have pros, it is important to note that they are far from perfect and do have cons:

  • Solar panels do not work at night nor during cloudy weather hence rendering you with just the stored energy in the batteries that will eventually run out, especially in winter
  • Installation of solar panels requires a permit and the signed acceptance of building residents to use up space on the roof
  • Need a lot of space and should be installed by professionals which can be costly
  • Solar panels require wise use to protect the batteries' life span
  • If not installed properly and firmly, solar panels might fall off roofs and cause damage
  • Solar panels are difficult to clean especially if built in an unreachable angle and height

Conclusion

Image
 Like everything in life, solar panels have pros and cons and it is essential for a person to ask around and get help from experts before taking such a huge decision. And one should always think not only of the immediate results but how the invention will be beneficial or not in the long run. It is also crucial that one has a permit to install them otherwise it could result in an order to take them off and pay a fee for breaking the law. In my opinion, solar panels really are worth it, and the benefits it offers make up for the drawbacks it has.       Elisseeva, E. (n.d.). Shutterstock.
