The Big Problem With Solar Power

Go to https://ground.news/sabine to get 40% off the Vantage plan and see through sensationalized reporting. Stay fully informed on events around the world with Ground News.
Solar power is one of the most popular sources of renewable energy, due to both its cost-effectiveness and the fact that solar panels emit zero greenhouse gases. But according to new analyses, solar isn’t as cheap as we’ve been led to believe. Let’s take a look at the real cost of solar power and other problems with the technology.
