Well between Hydro and Solar I guess it depends on what season are you. In my country we have only two seasons. Wet and dry season. I guess if I were in wet season it is good to depend on hydro power because there is plenty of it to generate power. But then again, during summer season many hydro power plant could not generate enough power because rain is rare so there is not enough water pressure to run their plants to generate electricity. That is where solar could be tapped because in dry season sun is always at its peak and I guess there is a big potential that they could give us enough energy as well. So I guess both technologies could help alleviate power crisis that happen in one season and the other. I think the only stumbling block in making those two technologies available is the cost of making one. I think the technology is far more costlier than making a regular power plant that would consume coal or oil.

well i dont think solar energy is the better alternative, because compared to FUEL, its the most fastest energy producer, solar and hydro energies are gud but cant be set as another option compared to fuel, coz fuel is a highly efficent thing than solar and hydro energies are slower than the efficiency of FUEL.
