Question

review it!
select the factor(s) that could potentially limit the availability of solar energy.
access to water source
economic status
geographic location
land availability
photovoltaic cell efficiency

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Economic status: High upfront costs of solar infrastructure can limit access for low-income individuals/regions.
  • Geographic location: Areas with frequent cloud cover, polar regions (limited sunlight hours), or shaded regions have reduced solar energy availability.
  • Land availability: Large-scale solar farms require significant open, unobstructed land, which is scarce in dense urban or mountainous areas.
  • Photovoltaic cell efficiency: Lower efficiency means less energy is converted from sunlight, limiting the practical output of solar systems.
  • Access to water sources is not a limiting factor for standard photovoltaic solar energy (water is only relevant for small-scale cleaning or concentrated solar power, not general solar availability).

Answer:

economic status
geographic location
land availability
photovoltaic cell efficiency
