Yes _ No _

Solar energy is an alternative energy source used in South Africa that can be compared to coal-powered stations in terms of sustainability and environmental impact. While solar energy is renewable and has minimal environmental impact, coal power plants contribute significantly to air pollution and climate change.

Using solar panels can be advantageous as they provide a clean and sustainable source of electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels like coal. However, the initial cost of setting up a solar energy system can be high compared to coal-fired power stations.

Residents who have access to electricity from the National Grid (Eskom) may consider switching to solar panels to reduce air pollution and environmental impact from coal-fired power stations.
