Pros
Power generation at home: One of the simplest and most practical ways for homeowners to generate their own electricity is using small-scale solar electric installations.
Solar power is plentiful: We won't run out of energy very soon because it's likely that the sun will last for more than 6 billion years.
Solar electricity fills in the gaps left by the grid: Solar-powered electricity illuminates areas where installing power lines is impractical or too expensive.
Low maintenance is a benefit of solar panels: Moving pieces are absent from a stationary solar array. The only routine maintenance required for the new lithium ion batteries is to maintain the battery covers and panel clean.
Cons:
The only disadvantages are that it is site-specific and there are unsuitable locations.
Orienting buildings in useful ways, and utilizing the natural patterns of solar radiation should be a general design consideration.
Undesired solar gain from windows suggests a design that has not adequately considered the siting.
