The maintenance cost for solar power systems is also low. The main demerit is the fact that they are subject to weather intermittency; hence will require an energy storage system that will add to the overall cost of the technology (Wilberforce et al., 2019b). The growth of solar power has increased exponentially between 1992 and 2020.
