How can solar energy be harnessed? Mention any two limitations in using solar energy. How are these limitations overcome ?

Explanation

Solar energy can be harnessed directly by using a solar cooker, solar heater, or solar cells.
In solar cooker the sun.s heat energy is used for cooking. In a solar heater, heat energy is used to heat the water. In solar cells, solar energy is converted into electricity. Limitations in using solar energy are :
Solar energy is not available in night and when the sun is hidden under clouds
The domestic use of solar cells for production of electricity is not possible due to high cost
These limitations can be overcome by :
First limitation can be overcome by converting solar energy into electrical energy and storing it for future use
Second limitation energy and storing it for future use
Second limitation can be overcome by the Indian government taking certain steps to reduce price of solar cells
