Disadvantages of solar energy. Irrespective of the numerous advantages of solar energy, there are some disadvantages associated with using solar energy as an alternative source of power generation.


A customer may need a solar system to power all his/her electrical loads, but if his/her budget can’t take care of all the loads with solar energy; the size of the installation can be reduce to suite his budget. Load shifting is applied in such a situation. #wisdomjames


It is the electrical load that will inform the contactor on how to design the solar system for maximum operation. Client's budget - The client’s budget is another important factor that determines the size of a solar system installation.


Venturing into any solar system installation projects requires a careful understanding of how to go about proper power audit of the facility to determine the electrical loads that will be powered with the proposed solar system installation.


Electrical loads, one of the key factor that determines the size of any solar system installation is the electrical load


There are many factors that determine the size of a solar system installation. Some of them are discuss below:


What determines the size of a solar system installation.


Quackery on the part of the system designer and the installer will surely result on a failed solar system installation. Some end users will opt for cheap cost at the expense of professionalism and this sometimes lead to solar system failure.


Poor Routine Maintenance Cleaning, mechanical check; among others are some of the routine maintenance schedule that must be carried out on any solar system installation.


It will be better not to invest in solar system installation than to invest in the project without putting the necessary earthing mechanism in the facility and earthing the components.


Ignoring earthing and protective measures. No solar installation project is complete without a careful study and understanding of the earthing history of the facility.


There is a professional way to go about any solar system installation, ensure all components are installed correctly as intermittent failures can be caused by loose connections or faulty wiring.


High Cost: Among other factors preventing people from tapping into the huge potential provided by the sun is the high initial cost of solar system installation. Installing Solar System is costly and as such one must invest in the project wisely. #wisdomjames


Lack of awareness: Past Experience/Failure of already Installed Solar Projects. Disappointment from a customer who has purchased a solar system that doesn’t meet their expectation or demand has caused many to be afraid investing in solar system projects.


Education Pv systems present a new and unfamiliar technology and this is one of the reasons we have so many solar system failures. The terrain is not understood by many. Why are people not tapping into this huge potential that the sun has provided?


Efficiency Improvement To reduce the cost of solar installation, energy efficient electrical/electronic equipment will have to replace the old analog inefficient appliances and most times this poses great challenges to end users.


Remember, at night there is no sun and solar systems users must understand energy management at night and at critical weather condition. Energy Storage PV system requires a storage device basically the solar battery and this add to the cost of installation.


Variability of available solar radiation.Solar systems get their Dc source basically from the sun and as such the variation of the weather condition affects solar systems.


Solar system installation cost is decreasing but the cost of conventional power source keeps increasing. Depending on the size, it might take one to three years to get back the money invested into the project.
