    What are the advantages of solar energy?  
    1. Can run both in day and night
    2. Cheap
    3. No carbon emissions
    4. High Energy Output
    5. The sun is an immense source of energy that can be harnessed with solar energy

    • A.

      1,2,3

    • B.

      3,5

    • C.

      1,3,5

    • D.

      All of the above

    B. 3,5
    Explanation
    Solar energy are not cheap and current technology still has low efficiency. Thus energy output is low. However, the advantages are that it is "green" and renewable. The sun is also a huge source of energy with about 1000kw of energy on every square metre on Earth.
