Solar Energy Is More Affordable Than You Think<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people believe that solar energy is too expensive for them to consider. However, solar panel prices have dropped significantly in recent years, making solar energy more affordable for many people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ufeff<a href=\"https:\/\/solareyesinternational.com\/top-10-energy-storage-manufacturers-driving-the-global-energy-storage-revolution\/\">Top 10 Energy Storage Manufacturers Driving the Global Energy Storage Revolution<\/a><span data-rich-text-placeholder=\"Type \/ to choose a block\" contenteditable=\"false\" style=\"pointer-events:none;user-select:none;-webkit-user-select:none;-moz-user-select:none;-ms-user-select:none;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, in some parts of the world, solar energy is already cheaper than fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Solar_Energy_Can_Be_Used_in_Remote_Locations\"><\/span>3. Solar Energy Can Be Used in Remote Locations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Solar is the real deal for distributed grids in remote areas where the grid might never reach. Solar energy can be used in remote locations where it is difficult or impossible to connect to the power grid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes it an ideal solution for powering homes, businesses, and even entire communities in rural areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Solar_Energy_Can_Be_Used_to_Heat_Water\"><\/span>4.

This is called intermittency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ufeff<a href=\"https:\/\/solareyesinternational.com\/causes-of-fire-on-solar-installations-how-to-avoid-it-dont-be-a-victim\/\">Causes of Fire on Solar Installations, How to Avoid it \u2013 don\u2019t be a victim<\/a><span data-rich-text-placeholder=\"Type \/ to choose a block\" contenteditable=\"false\" style=\"pointer-events:none;user-select:none;-webkit-user-select:none;-moz-user-select:none;-ms-user-select:none;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, advances in technology have made it possible to store solar energy for use when the sun isn&#8217;t shining. This means that solar energy can be used around the clock, even when the sun isn&#8217;t out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Solar_Energy_Can_Help_Reduce_Your_Carbon_Footprint\"><\/span>6.
