Pros:
 Solar energy is a renewable energy source, meaning it is barely affected by fluctuations in supply or demand. Solar energy is also non-polluting, meaning it has a positive effect on the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, solar energy is becoming increasingly more affordable and accessible as technology continues to develop.2.

Cons:
 Solar energy is highly dependent on the availability of sunlight, so its ability to operate efficiently can be impaired by cloudy or overcast days. Additionally, there is a high initial cost associated with setting up and installing a solar energy system, meaning it can take some time for solar energy to become cost effective. Finally, because solar energy requires the dedicated use of land for solar panels, it can sometimes lead to disputes about land usage and ownership.
