ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF PHOTOVOLTAICS

ADVANTAGES OF PHOTOVOLTAICS:

  1. The fuel source is vast and essentially infinite
  2. No emissions, no combustion or radioactive fuel for disposal (does not contribute perceptibly to global climate change or pollution)
  3. Low operating costs (no fuel)
  4. No moving parts (no wear)
  5. Ambient temperature operation (no high-temperature corrosion or safety issues)
  6. High reliability in modules (>20 years)
  7. Modular (small or large increments)
  8. Quick installation
  9. Can be integrated into new or existing building structures
  10. Can be installed at nearly any point-of-use
  11. Daily output peak may match local demand
  12. High public acceptance
  13. Excellent safety record

DISADVANTAGES OF PHOTOVOLTAICS:

  1. diffuse (sunlight is a relatively low-density energy)
  2. High installation costs
  3. Poorer reliability of auxiliary (balance of system) elements including storage
  4. Lack of widespread commercially available system integration and installation so far
  5. Lack of economically efficient energy storage
