The answer to your question really depends on what you are using the energy for. For example, if you're using solar energy to grow crops then obviously not! If you're trying to harness solar energy for use in, say a home? Then the solar energy will need to be put through a Photo-voltaic cell (Solar panel) and then the electrons that are knocked out of the silicon wafers within the solar panels will travel through wires and then generally into a battery. In some cases the battery is bypassed (ie. a Solar Calculator). One can also have "Passive Solar Collection" which avoids a solar cell at all and is commonly used to heat water at cottages or campsites. Basically a hollow object (pipe usually) is filled with water and painted black. The thermal energy from the sun dissipates into the (generally conductive) object and finally into the water within.
Hope this helps!
What else can I help you with?
How is solar energy controlled or processed?
no
Does biomass need solar energy to run?
No, biomass typically produces energy through incineration which does not require solar energy.
Why do you need solar power?
we need solar power because it will save us lots of energy
How do solar cell support the need for energy?
The solar cell coverts the sun light into energy/electricity
What energy does a plant need or have?
Solar energy converted in to chemical energy by photosynthesis
How is light a form of energy?
because somethings need solar energy to power up and the sun the solar part.
What do you need to collect solar energy?
a solar pannel they are prety expensive though
Do solar cars need fuel?
No because they are powered by solar energy! Hence the name 'Solar Car'
Where is solar energy used the most?
Solar energy is used everywhere throughout the globe. Solar powered objects don't need direct sunlight but daylight.
Does solar power need heat?
yes solar energy needs heat as it is the directly receving energy from the sun and it is the energy which provides more heat
What form of energy would a solar cooker use?
A solar cooker uses solar energy, which is the energy from sunlight. It captures and converts this energy into heat for cooking food without the need for additional fuel sources.
Why do you need Solar Energy?
i dont know yep
