Solar energy is energy, it can't waste energy.
The process of converting incoming solar energy into other forms of energy that are more useful to us (which is often, confusingly, still called "solar energy") does in fact waste some of the input energy, since no real conversion process is 100% efficient.

Is nuclear waste a problem with solar energy?
No, it is not.
What is the difference between solar energy and biomass energy?
solar energy uses the sun and biomass uses waste to make energy
What does President Obama think about solar energy?
Obama Does not like solar energy and i have to agree with him its a waste of money and our time we should just stick with our fuel.
What are the waste by products of solar energy?
There is no waste that is created by solar energy. This energy is completely recyclable as it comes from the sun.
What is the most environmentally safe sort of energy?
Solar and wind energy is the most safe. Of the renewable energies, nuclear can produce nuclear waste and go critical, while hydroelectric power can displace many acres of land. Wind and solar energy produce no waste, do not pollutes, and do not displace.
Bad things about solar energy?
Solar energy is not bad, however, the production of materials to produce free, clean energy has its negatives. For instance, it requires a great amount of fossil fuels and using rare materials to make the solar panels. Chromium and mercury are waste materials that cause disposal issues.
What are the different types of conventional sources of energy?
Fossil energy. Nuclear energy. Water, energy, wind energy, renewable energy like solar energy. The energies of the reactions caused by chemical waste.
Is there a substance that can absorb sunlight and create energy?
if you are talking about living things, plants can absorb sunlight through a process called photosynthesis. But if you aren't talking about living things, then I would have to say solar panels. They act in the same way as plants, only they aren't alive. Some companies use solar energy instead of nuclear energy or something else with dangerous waste products, because solar energy has no waste and is a clean way to get energy. Although you have to get a lot of solar panels to equal the amount of energy poured out by nuclear plants. But if you want to go safe, solar is the one for you.
'How is solar energy safe'?
Solar energy is safe because it is radiant energy from the sun. No chemicals or pollution are produced from the use of the sun. It's a lot safer to produce than the fossil fuels which are used to create the light and energy we waste in our everyday lives.
What has Thermal or Heat Energy?
Everything ! The only way not to is to be at zero degrees Kelvin ... and nothing is.
How can solar powered cars help the environment?
Solar powerhouses help the environment by decreasing the waste of electricity, by decreasing the waste of energy, by decreasing the waste of gas, by decreasing car danger levels, by decreasing the number of pollution, by decreasing the waste of human lives, by lowering fuel prices, by lowering oil prices and by stopping the waste of oil.
What quiestions are there about solar energy?
A question about solar energy could be: what is solar energy?: what does solar energy do?:does solar energy do anything for the earth/planet?
