Answer:
C
Explanation:
Clouds impede on the sun rays reaching the earth surface yet solar panels are supposed to harness the sunlight to generate electricity. Therefore, the less sunlight there is, the less effective solar panels are with power generation on a cloudy day dropping to 10% - 25%.
Answer:
C) This method will not work well on cloudy days.
Explanation:
The clouds in the atmosphere will restrict sun rays from reaching the earth's surface therefore in a cloudy day the idea of capturing sun's energy through solar power plant will not work. If appropriate amount of sun rays will not be captured then the production of electricity will not occur. This is one of the greatest limitations of solar power plant technology.
Other options are incorrect. Option A is incorrect because sunlight does not have little energy. Sunlight has huge amount of energy but the problem is, we lack efficient ways/technology to harness this energy. We are able to capture only a small amount of this extreme amount of solar energy that we receive daily. Option B is also not right because apart from plants, black box (black body) is which used in solar power plants can also trap solar energy. Option D is also not correct because colder climates also receive sunlight which can be trapped by establishing solar power plants in those regions. For example cold countries like Spain and France also have solar power plants and the method works really well in these regions also.
