Cost is an important issue associated with the use of various sources of energy. Cost of making electricity by using solar PV technique is greater (dearer) than using coal, natural gas etc. but some countries (Germany, Italy etc) increasing the use of solar PV technique. Germany is the world leader in use of PV solar technique to make electricity. Question is that why they are increasing the use of economically dearer source of energy? Our preference to use of solar energy is associated with the strategy for future.
It is expected that in near future cost of electricity will be cheapest by using of solar techniques. Dependency on traditional resources may prove more costly in future; traditional resources are also not a permanent source of energy.
We can say that the use of PV solar technique is the symbol of future strategy of our energy portfolio. It is not too far when traditional sources of energy will more scare and its use will be most costly and a country who is not prepared to use of renewable resources may struggle to fulfillment of its energy requirements.
