9 Sustainable Attainment of Solar E-waste …

9.1.1 Why Solar Energy?
9.1.1.1 Solar Energy Is Environmentally Friendly
The most commonly known truth about solar energy is that it provides a renewable,
green source of electricity. Solar power is the best way to slash your carbon footprint.
There is nothing in the solar energy that is polluting Mother Nature. Solar power does
not emit greenhouse gasses and requires almost no other energy, except for having to
operate a clean water supply. It is also healthy, and friendly to the community. “And
there is still confusion among people as to why solar power is OK. Solar power is
autonomous, and solar panel installation on your roof is a secure and easy way to
contribute to a sustainable future. Starting from home is a great way to prove you
care for the surroundings” [9].
9.1.1.2 Solar Power Makes the House Go off the Grid
“The decline in solar panel costs serves as a perfect example of why solar energy usage
should increase. Traditional electricity depends heavily on fossil fuels including coal
and natural gas. Not only are we bad for the world but we also have little resources.
This translates into a dynamic market, in which energy rates adjust during the day.
Solar power is expanding your electric independence! By investing in a 4 kW solar
panel, which is the most popular domestic capacity, you can easily shield yourself
from unexpected spikes in power costs, and enjoy low-cost electricity all day long-the
sun will never raise its rates and will provide you with energy protection. When you
have solar panels on your roof, technically you’ve reached an energy-independent
status. Solar battery storage systems can also help to store energy at night and on
rainy days” [9].
9.1.1.3 Solar Power May Use Unused Land
We might keep asking why solar power is so. It’s becoming readily available to most
of us with the growing need for solar energy. There are large lands around countries
that are far from major cities or towns and are not used at all for anything. We can
actually use the land with solar power, and then generate enormous value; solar
energy is for all a source of electricity. “This way, we don’t need to use high-cost
land that could be better suited for other purposes. You may have heard about the
solar farms-panels used to store large amounts of solar energy. It perfectly shows how
underexploited land is used for solar electricity. For example, a 45 acre solar farm
has recently been installed in the United Kingdom, and it will fuel 2,500 homes” [9].
