Introduction to Renewable Energy
While renewable energy sources have many advantages, they also come with some disadvantages.
Intermittency: Solar and wind power depend on weather conditions and are not always available. This can lead to issues with grid stability and reliability, particularly when large amounts of renewable energy are added to the grid.
High Upfront Costs: Renewable energy technologies can be expensive to install. For example, solar panels can be expensive to install, and wind turbines require significant infrastructure.
Environmental Impacts: Renewable energy sources can have environmental impacts. For instance, hydroelectric dams can disrupt ecosystems and affect fish populations, while wind turbines can be a hazard to birds and bats.
