Solar power advantages :

Solar power advantages are numerous. It is extremely environmentally friendly, no harmful by products are given off as a result of harvesting and production, it is a non-destructive method of reaping energy, it's a renewable energy which will sustain us for many millennia to come.

Another solar power advantage is the fact using this energy will save you a lot of money, you can slash you power bill by us much as 80% even 100% depending on the extent of your solar installation. You can then sell excess energy you are no longer drawing from the grid back to your power company.

Disadvantages:

The major disadvantage is the fact it is so expensive to get a preassembled retail system installed. Costs can run into the many thousands of dollars, larger houses can require a system that would cost over $10,000. This cost makes the whole exercise for the majority of households next to impossible.

Fortunately there are now a number of diy (do it yourself) solutions that perform just as well as a retail system, but for a fraction of the price (around $200)

Electronic Marketing: Advantages and Disadvantages $35.04 There is no doubt that electronic marketing has contributed positively in the life of modern societies, mainly the consuming societies. It allowed purchasing of materials cheaply without any limit, and without any restrictions. It also gave the chance to make a free selection and comparison between the prices of goods at the electronic department stores throughout the Internet. All such facilities are given to the consumers in a very short time without causing them to leave their office or home. In addition, the Electronic Marketing has exterminated the monopoly of goods and materials, all such acts of course are for the consumers benefit. However, in addition to such advantages there are many disadvantages of such type of marketing; the Electronic Marketing has deleted the privacy of the consumer, because all of his movements through the Internet have been divulged and under control, in addition to lack of exclusive security through the Internet. Accordingly, many losses equally occurred to the customer and the merchant due to such acts of hackers who reveal the information and credit cards details. In addition, the Electronic Marketing caused many merchants, agents and monopolists to be vanquished because it gave the chance for direct communications between the producer and the consumer without passing through them; as such, many of such merchants have been yielded away from the way of this new technology. The Electronic Marketing was able to cause an upset down in many concepts and standards of economic science that have existed for so many years. Doors are still open for every new in this assumption and endless world as there are no limits that can stop such human ambition. Author: Fatayerji, Najib C.
