because it is smaller and cant hold as much electric current

What is required to acquire solar energy?
Solar energy would be a source, so you would therefore need a receiver. Your body can "acquire" solar energy. It warms your skin by absorbing UV radiation. If you are talking about converting solar energy to electricity, then you would need a photovoltaic panel, or PV. They are most commonly used in arrays, so you can try looking up PV Arrays for more information.
Why would it be necessary for a home using solar energy to have some type of an energy storage device?
It would not need a storage device unless the house was separate from the electricity grid. Many houses around the world generate electricity from solar panels and sell it to the power companies, sometimes the total amount, and sometimes only the excess.A person who uses solar energy in their isolated home would need some type of energy storage device to store the solar energy during the evening. They would also need to store energy for days when there is little or no sun.Because you need the stored energy when there is no sun to power the solar panels (rain/cloudy/night/winter).
Why would it be necessary for a home to use solar energy to have some type of an energy storage device?
That only applies if the home relies EXCLUSIVELY on solar energy, or to a large extent.The problem here is that you can't get solar energy at night, or when it is cloudy. Therefore you need to store at least some energy, for when you need it.
How could solar energy source be used?
You can use solar energy to power your house. You will need to get solar panels to convert solar energy to usable energy.
Can solar panels be used in the nighttime?
"Solar" requires the sun, so energy would need to be stored for nighttime use.
Is it economical to consider installing solar panels as an alternative energy source?
It is economical to consider installing solar panels because we need the energy for our planet. The sun provides it all and solar panels would save energy and money.
What are two differences between using solar energy and wind energy?
1. solar energy you get from the sun while wind energy you get from the wind 2. solar energy you have to have solar things (ex solar ovens) wind energy you need a windmill for.
How much energy does a 213 TV need from a solar panel?
The same amount it would need from your electrical supplier.
Is solar energy something you can use to stop fossil fuels?
Yes, but we would need other energy sources at night.
How do you figure out how much Solar Energy you will need to convert your house to solar energy?
You might start by looking at your electricity bills. Unless you buy switch lots of equipment to equipment that uses less power, you will continue using the same amount of power before and after switching to solar energy. Note that you won't be getting solar energy during the night time, so you will need, during the day, more power than you immediately need (that is, enough power to save for the night), and the batteries to store that energy.
Does biomass need solar energy to run?
No, biomass typically produces energy through incineration which does not require solar energy.
How do solar cell support the need for energy?
The solar cell coverts the sun light into energy/electricity
