Answer 1

Answer:D and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solar power is clean green electricity sourced from sunlight. Or in some cases, from heat from the sun. Installing solar power systems in a residential setting generally means setting up a solar photovoltaic or a solar thermal system on the roof.

Definition of photovoltaic: Photo = “light” and photons = energy particles coming from sunlight; voltaic = producing a voltage or volts. Abbreviation = PV

Solar energy is a renewable free source of energy that is sustainable and totally inexhaustible, unlike fossil fuels that are finite. It is also a non-polluting source of energy and it does not emit any greenhouse gases when producing electricity.

Solar electricity can supplement your entire or partial energy consumption. Using solar power means reducing your energy bills and saving money. Low maintenance and unobtrusive, installing solar panels adds value to your home

Answer 2

D. Solar energy is a renewable resource that has minor environmental consequences.

Explanation: Solar energy can not be used in any location as it can only be used in areas that receive a lot of sun thus ruling out A. It is not nonrenewable and indeed it is renewable and readily available in certain areas and it does not have that many environmental consequences, thus ruling out B. Solar energy is a renewable resource, but is very expensive thus ruling out C. The correct answer is D. because solar energy is a renewable resource and has minor environmental consequence.

Hope this helps! :)
