It is more expensive to create solar energy than use oil for making electricity.

Explanation:

Solar energy is a renewable source of energy from the sun. It is the most powerful and eco-friendly source of energy, however, many countries still do not use this source of energy in creating electricity. This is because the technology behind using solar energy to create electricity is very expensive in comparison with the use of oil.

In as much as solar energy is always readily available everywhere and everyday (natural), building the technology to make it generate electricity is huge. Hence, countries stick to the use of oil, which is way cheaper to operate.
