What is solar enegry?


Question:


Answer:
As taken from the EERE Solar energy basics website:

"Sunlight—solar energy—can be used to generate electricity, provide hot water, and to heat, cool, and light buildings.

Photovoltaic (solar cell) systems convert sunlight directly into electricity. A solar or PV cell consists of semiconducting material that absorbs the sunlight. The solar energy knocks electrons loose from their atoms, allowing the electrons to flow through the material to produce electricity. PV cells are typically combined into modules that hold about 40 cells. About 10 of these modules are mounted in PV arrays. PV arrays can be used to generate electricity for a single building or, in large numbers, for a power plant. A power plant can also use a concentrating solar power system, which uses the sun's heat to generate electricity. The sunlight is collected and focused with mirrors to create a high-intensity heat source. This heat source produces steam or mechanical power to run a generator that creates electricity."
Serious question?? It's energy from the sun.
its taking the energy from the sun in the form of light and converting it too power. it involves solar panels than capture the light and turn it into electricity
energy from the sun
Energy produced by the sun..
energy from the sun
Its energy harvested from the Sun Rays.
energy given off by the sun.a long time ago the government use to give you a tax credit for installing solar panels to heat or cool your home and you might have enough energy to operate appliances too.
It is energy from the sun. There are two ways to convert it into energy either by light or by the heat. Hope this helps
It's energy coming from the sun.
