Advantages And Disadvantages Of Renewable Energy Systems Massachusetts

By Anthony Meyer


The modern advances in industrialization and technology have increased the demand for renewable energy. Today, there are many sources of power including the sun, wind, geothermal, and hydro-power. The industries have expanded, and this has led to the depletion of fossils for the production of power. Industries are using renewable energy systems Massachusetts to harness electricity for their operations. The following are some of the merits and demerits of using the methods.

Unlike fossil fuels, the electricity from these units is clean and safe for use. For instance, the sun produces heat and warmth that is useful in creating power. It does not delete meaning you can use it as much as you want. The warmth from the same sun leads to the production of wind which is another excellent source. The wind and the sun are limitless sources, unlike the fossil fuels which according to theory, they are the finite source because of their creation.

Harnessing reusable energy can be done through several forms. People have diversified many ways in which they can outsource this power for their benefit. For this reason, folks have produced dams for harnessing hydro-power, large solar panels to harness solar power and wind turbines. Other sectors that deal with power distribution have not diversified like this sector.

Harnessing renewable power is a cheaper alternative to fossil fuels. For many years, the use of fossil fuels has been in use by many nations. This has led to depletion. Thus, many countries are competing over the little fuel that is remaining. This has, in turn, led to the price of fossil fuels being hiked making it expensive for developing countries. Reusable power is abundant. Thus it will not deplete, and all nations can easily afford to harness it.

These systems have brought development even in rural areas. Electricity is no longer for the people living in the urban only. People in remote areas can now use electrical power for their various activities. There is plenty of room for installing the different elements of harnessing wind and the sunlight, and this has resulted in the improvement of economic and social status.

It is cheap to acquire materials used for building this system. Besides, you will need no maintenance once the structure is built. Owning such a system will earn you a lot of revenue and also supply many people with cheap power.

Although the units come with the above advantages, among others, they still have their wrong side. For instance, a unit of this nature is only useful for small scale production. This means that the industries that rely on the primary use of electricity cannot rely on these units. They will need power from fossil fuels since it comes in large quantities.

This method is unreliable since it primarily depends on the weather conditions. This means that without suitable weather, it is impossible to get the necessary power. For instance, solar panels are only useful on sunny days. With the cloud covering the sun, it is impossible to get the heat. This unreliability can be disruptive for companies that depend on the daily use of electricity.
