Why Taiwan shouldn't use solar energy
Solar energy's drawback
https://www.nachi.org/disadvantages-solar-energy.htm
Unsteady energy input
Use a lot of space
Apparently，we don't have. We even have to cut trees for the space. It doesn't make sense to cut down a carbon-absorbing forest to make way for carbon-reducing solar panels.
Low efficiency
High installation cost
Expensive storage and managemen
The life span of panels will get reduced by Taiwan's moist weather
Associated with Pollution
When disposing of waste solar panels, the environmental pollution is high, and it takes some extra cost to deal with, especially metal pollution and silicon and cadmium etc
Taiwan's current situation

Power Generated but Not Transmitted
For Taiwan to develop large-scale solar power plants, two conditions had
to be met. One is finding large plots of land suitable for installing solar panels. The
second is having adequate feeder line capacity. Ideally, Taiwan should locate
routes for high-voltage 69KV and 161KV transmission lines that are not too far
from power grids, within two to three kilometers. If the feeder lines must
cover 10-20 kilometers, the installation costs would be prohibitively high for even
state-run utility Taiwan Power Co.

The roofs of agricultural buildings (where solar panels can be installed) are pretty
much full.The remaining roofs either don’t have adequate feeder line capacity or
are in remote areas,. Even if power is generated, it cannot be sent out.

Solar Energy a Hot Financial Commodity
The scarcity of land and feeder lines and the difficulty of finding suitable locations
for solar power development have turned solar power projects into financial
common scene in recent years is for a solar power company to celebrate winning a solar
power project land tender in the morning and then turning around and selling the
rights to the project to foreign interests in the afternoon for a 2 percent profit.
Land Allotted by the Government Cannot Be Used
As seen from the disputes in the intertidal zone in Changhua, the Zhiben Wetlands
and the leopard cat habitat in Miaoli County, to Taiwan Sugar Corporation’s
clearing of trees to “plant” electricity,the controversy over solar panel installations
is not limited to a single case but rather triggering opposition all around the
country.
We built solar system in fragile ecosystem like wet plane，and none of these solar power installation have undergone ecological assessments, they used pesticides to clear vegetation, and no ecological corridor was planned to allow wild animals pass through safely.
Hasty Projects Harm the Environment
The government simply set power generation targets and guaranteed high rates of return, and left the market to its own devices, resulting in several abuses along the way.. For example, in the case of many agrivoltaic farms, there was plenty of power generation but almost no crop cultivation.More recently, the installation of solar panels has harmed leopard cat habitats and intertidal zones
Due to poor comprehensive environmental assessments of solar power
policies, ecological surveys in ecologically sensitive areas, and conservation plans.
conclusion
Simply drawing a larger pie does not address any of these problems. Conducting environmental assessments of the policies in place,clearly taking stock of land resources, concentrating everybody’s energy on the issue, and resetting the policy process will be critical if Taiwan’s solar energy dream is to play out more smoothly in the future with fewer controversies
