Main Disadvantages of Solar Power Plant ?

The document discusses several topics relevant to electrical engineering interviews and exams, including: Main disadvantages of solar power are initial cost, availability of sunlight depending on location, pollution from photovoltaic panel production, inefficiency, reliability, and space needed for installation. It also provides tips to reduce electricity consumption such as using CFL bulbs and upgrading appliances. Slip in induction motors is defined as the difference between rotor and synchronous speeds, usually expressed as a percentage of synchronous speed. Different turbines are used depending on head height - Pelton for over 50m, Francis for 10-50m, and Kaplan for under 10m. The SNC-Lavalin scandal was related to the renovation of hydroelectric plants
