Welcome to this video on the Good and the Bad of solar energy. Our founder, Sujith has been part of the renewable industry for over 10 years. During this time, he founded and ran a company that worked with companies to implement their sustainability plans. And now, he is here to talk about the good and bad of solar power generation. We'll start by talking about the benefits of solar energy. We'll talk about the downsides of using solar power too. Meanwhile, as promised here's the calculation I used to arrive at the area required to meet the yearly global electricity demand. Global Yearly Electricity demand - 25,300 TWh (Teraa Watt Hours (Source: IEA – International Energy Agency) Daily Global Electricity demand - 69.315 TWh Average daily electricity generated by 1 kWp solar in Sahara desert - 5.0 kWh 1 TWh (Terra Watt Hour) = 1000,000,000 kWh (Kilo Watt Hour) Solar capacity needed to power Global Electricity demand - 13.863 billion kWp Area needed to install 1 kWp of Solar - 10 square meter Area needed to install 13.863 billion kWp of Solar - 138,630 billion square meters Area needed to install 13.863 billion kWp of Solar - 138,630 square kilometers Ares of the square block in the Sahara Desert plotted on Google Earth Pro and shown in this video - 138,630 square kilometers Index for this video 00:00 - Intro 01:18 - Is Solar Safe 02:30 - Is there enough Area 03:49 - Where can you install Solar 05:48 - How carbon-free is Solar 07:50 - Summary of the Pros 08:55 - Challenges - PII Background Music Artist Credits Background Music Artist: Mixaund Background Music Artist Website: https://mixaund.bandcamp.com/
