Customer ServiceSo, let''s have a close look at the 10 biggest disadvantages of solar energy. 1. Lack of Reliability. Solar energy is far from being reliable compared to other energy sources like nuclear, fossil fuels, natural gas, etc. Since solar energy depends on sunlight, it can only produce energy in the daytime.

Silicon photovoltaic solar cells are looking to capture the 90% of the total market because of their excellent efficiency of 21% with lifetime of 25 year more at reasonable cost. On other hand, nanomaterials-based solar cells have high efficiency more than 23% and low manufacturing cost, with considerable half life of that crystal structure.
However, due to the liquid electrolytes in dye-sensitized solar cell, many difficulties are observed, for example, short-term stability due to evaporation of organic solvent, leakage, electrode oxidization, and limited inorganic salts solubility [14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20].
