Why are solid-state relays advantageous over electromechanical relays? Correct Answer they need less current to be energised

Solid-state relays are advantageous over electromechanical relays because their switching response time is much faster than electromechanical relays as solid-state relays are made-up of semiconductor materials. Also, solid-state relays required low input current for operation and small packaging make them ideal for microcontrollers.
