Renewable energy sources offer numerous advantages over fossil fuels, including lower greenhouse gas emissions, improved air quality, and reduced dependence on finite resources. Solar energy, in particular, has experienced rapid growth due to falling costs and technological advancements in photovoltaic systems. Despite these benefits, one of the main challenges of renewable energy sources is their intermittency and variability. Solar power generation is dependent on weather conditions, meaning that electricity production may not align with demand.
