The perks of solar energy beat any other form of energy which can deplete the natural resources of our planet and pollute the environment. Oil and coal are not renewable. Once they are used, they are gone, and besides They take a different form which pollutes the environment. Solar energy uses the power of the sun which is trapped during the day and supplies energy during the day through storage batteries for use in the night. As long as we have the sun, we will have solar energy.

Solar energy at present costs two times as much as traditional sources of power generation which is oil and coal. But as natural sources of oil and coal deplete, the cost of producing energy from such sources will rise. The other downfall is that it is only possible to generate electricity during the daytime. But with good battery reserves this can be a non issue .
