Solar Energy
The source of unlimited renewable energy is Sun. It is the radiation of the sun from which, solar power can be
derived. In fact, the energy generated from the sun to Earth during an hour, has the capability of meeting the
energy needs of the globe, for nearly one year (Singh, 2013).
The radiation of the sun is converted into solar energy. Harnessing of this source of energy is possible, with the
installation of solar panels. However, only the 0.001 percent of the total energy of the sun can be harnessed
(Zhang, et al., 2013).

 Preview
Background: In the year 2011, the international energy agency emphasized on the
derivation of inexhaustible as well as cleans solar energy utilizing the lights as well as
heats from the sun.
Issue: The expense for the installation of solar photovoltaic is high. It is true that
Australian government has taken the initiative to install solar photovoltaic and heat
pumps in order to generate electricity in the less developed areas where aboriginals leave
(Kuravi, et al. 2013).
Preview: In order to achieve purpose the schools and small financial institutions are
instructed to make provision for the installation of solar panels and photovoltaic, but the

inadequate and biased distribution of the grants from the government of Australia created
obstacles in the noble initiative of producing inexhaustible
Argument for
There are various advantages of deriving solar energy. Firstly, the aim of the government
of Australia to utilize sun radiation for the purpose of producing, excess energy and
accelerate the generation of electricity has been successful. The generation of electricity
has been increased. Most of the educational and financial institutions have received about
aids from the government. As a result. they are able to install solar panels and
photovoltaic. Some of the less developed areas are benefitted (Ho & Iverson, 2014).
Argument Against On the other hand it can be argued that, the cost for deriving solar energy from the
radiation of the sun is exceeding the average cost of electricity generation. Hence, critics
do not consider the policies regarding utilizing solar power to generate electricity, fruitful
to conduct community development. Again, the derivation of the solar energy depends on
the weather. Even if, solar energy is derived during rainy seasons when the sky is cloudy,
the efficiency of the systems implemented to produce solar power decreases when the sky
is cloudy, and minimized during rain. Another factor which is hostile to the manufacture
