Nasso, Christine (2007). Solar Power. USA: The Thomson Corporation.Utilities relying on coal, nuclear power, and natural gas for generations produce electricity for 6-8 cents a kilowatt hour. On the other hand, solar generation of electricity costs 35 cents per kilowatt hour. The good thing about solar power: it’s not exhaustible like fossil fuels. More than 80% of people in Africa don’t have access to electric grids. Because there is huge amount of sun, the electricity could be generated by installing solar panels on the roofs of their houses. The incentive for people to invest into solar power generation is remembering that electricity produced by finite fossil fuels may not last forever.
