Find and correct mistakes
The task is to find and correct all the mistakes in the following passage.
Underlined words are my findings.
Solar energy is a long last source of energy which could be used almost anywhere. To generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and a sun! Solar cells can easily be installed in house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate the own energy. Compared with other renewable sources, they possess also many advantages: wind and water power relies on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easily to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and none pollution. As they have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime.
And please check if I've found all the mistakes and correct them right
long last --> long-lasting
could --> can
a --> the
in --> on
the --> their
with --> to (I'm not sure about this because I feel "compared with" and "compared to" are the same")
possess also --> also possess
easily --> easy
none pollution --> none-polluting
