Likely because being so far north, the angle of sunlight is not ideal, plus the daylight hours are lower than other places, meaning that you have less sunlight time to gather power.

How hard is it to find solar energy?

Solar Energy can be found by going outside, capturing it is the hard part. Solar panels are the most efficient way of going about this. Panels can be expensive and hard to buy, but very easy to find. If we could capture all of the suns energy through solar panels, we would NEVER run out of electricity!


Why is it hard to get solar energy?

It really depends what you want to do with it. You can sit in the sun and get warm - and you would be "getting solar energy". On the other hand, converting the solar energy to electricity requires specialized equipment.


Is Solar energy difficult to store?

No it isn't hard to store, solar energy is captured by solar panels that turn the sun's rays into useable electricity. It can be stored simply by charging batteries.


Which form of energy would be hard to get on a cloudy day?

Solar energy. For example, our solar stove doesn't really get hot when it is cloudy.Solar energy. For example, our solar stove doesn't really get hot when it is cloudy.Solar energy.

how does mechanical energy is converted to electrical through solar cell?

How is mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy through a solar cell? It isn't, what energy is converted is commonly known as solar energy. What happens in a solar cell is that the sun "shoots" photons at the silicon cell. When the photons are shot hard enough, the silicon "breaks" as well as the photon and energy is formed. This is then used as electrical energy.


Is it easy to transport solar energy?

Solar Energy is like any other electricity, it's stored in batteries and is no more easy or hard to move than any other electricity.


How feasible is solar power generation?

Solar power generation is hard to get with a preexisting home for a low cost. Solar panels are possible, but they are expensive. A passive solar home uses the sun's energy both in winter and summer to heat or cool the house.


Can bamboo be used as biofuel?

Bamboo can be used as a biofuel, however, converting it to a liquid energy can be difficult. The plant is not easy to harvest and is hard and researchers are currently looking for a way to harness the energy from bamboo for biofuel.


How would a solar power house get energy on a cloudy or rainy day?

sunlight can even go through the cloud's, but it is hard to pick up. but solar panels can pick up this little sunlight.


Why is it difficult to harness all the stored energy in water and wind?

because it is very hard to see air let alone teabag it


Is clean energy really the solution to our energy woes?

Unfortunately, no. Solar energy is great, but solar cells cause a lot of pollution to create. Wind energy is more ideal, but very hard to generate enough of. Hydroelectric power is not bad, but difficult to come by, as you need a fast flowing river. Geothermal energy is probably the best, but it has not been much looked into.


How do you build a school using solar energy?

Bake mud-bricks in the sunshine, grow timber in the sunshine, stack the bricks with mud mortar, roof it and floor it with the timber. Make the furniture from wood. Glass for windows is tricky and anything metal is hard to do with solar energy.
