What is one significant drawback to transferring electricity produced by solar energy from states where sunshine is abundant to states where it is not? Electricity made from solar energy is different from fossil fuels, so it needs new types of power lines. Electricity made from solar energy is different from fossil fuels, so it needs new types of power lines. The transfer could only occur during the day because solar energy cannot be stored. The transfer could only occur during the day because solar energy cannot be stored. Electricity produced from solar energy farms must be used locally and cannot be transferred at all. Electricity produced from solar energy farms must be used locally and cannot be transferred at all. The cost to transfer electricity produced by solar energy over great distances can be high.
