When solar light is absorbed by a material (usually dark colored when dealing with capturing solar energy) it is converted to thermal energy (heat). This can then be transferred by air, water, or conduction. I suppose if you think of heat as the excitation level of molecules in a substance. Then the absorption of photons would increase the excitation of those molecules.

What is a solar thermal?
a solar thermal is an energy efficient way of getting energy
Can solar energy be changed into thermal energy without any work being done?
YesIt is true that solar energy can be changed into thermal energy without any work being done. The solar energy is thermal energy from the sun.
Why solar energy is better than thermal energy?
solar energy is better than thermal energy as it is an easy and convenient method solar energy is non polluting therefore it is better than thermal energy because thermal energy cause very much pollution and it is costly also but solar energy do not cause pollution and as we are obtaining it from sun so it is cheap also

How does solar power use thermal energy?
The sun, the source of solar power, is full of heat. Therefore it has thermal energy
Why is solar energy good to use to create energy?
because it converts thermal energy to mechanical works

What are solar thermal energy?
it is the energy stored in batteries
Are solar energy and thermal energy the same?
not at all. solar energy comes from the sun while on the other hand thermal energy is made from heat moving into a colder area. :]
What energy changes happen in a solar panel?
Solar or light energy is converted to electrical energy or thermal energy
What is the energy you get from the sun?
you get radiant and thermal energy. Solar power.
What is the examples of the heat and light energy?
thermal & solar energy
