Solar panels are not a renewable resource, unless you recycle them. Solar panels make electrical power from solar energy, but it in no way replenishes the Sun to make more solar energy in the future. However, the Sun does rise every day, and when it's not cloudy the electrical energy produced by the panels is reinstated.

Do solar panels use renewable energy?
Yes they do. Solar panels capture the energy of the sun and turn it into electricity.
How does solar car's solar panels and windmills relate?
Solar powered car's solar panels and windmills relate because they both use renewable energy resources, the sun and wind respectively.
Is electricity non renewable or renewable?
Sources of energy are termed renewable and non-renewable. Electricity can come from many sources including power plants, wind farms, hydroelectric plants and solar panels. Power plants that burn fossil fuels are using non-renewable fuel sources, but energy from solar panels use renewable energy. A power plant can use biofuels, which are renewable.
Is sunlight a renewable resource or non-renewable rescource?
They use a renewable source of energy. Most are constructed using non renewable resources.
What three ways can you use to make electricity from renewable eneergy?
Hydroelectricity/Dams Solar power/Solar panels Wind Energy/Wind mills
What source is cheaper to use solar energy or gasoline?
Solar power is a newer source of energy so it is more expensive to build solar panels, but is eco-friendly and renewable.
Do solar trains run all over the world?
No. There are no solar trains in the world. There are electric trains, some of which run on renewable energy, but there are no solar trains, that is, trains with solar panels that capture and use solar radiation on the run.
How can you use renewable energy resources without affecting neighbors?
It depends how close the neighbors are, but solar panels and solar hot water on your roof should not affect them. Some power companies offer a choice of renewable energy, at a price.
What are the panels the space probes wear called?
The panels on a space probe are called solar panels. Solar panels are panels that turn light into energy so astronauts and cosmonauts do not need to change the batteries. Not only do space probes have solar panels, some cars, houses, and all sorts of electronics can use solar panel. Solar panels do not pollute. This is why they use solar panels.
Were can you find renewable fuel?
Sunlight is renewable. With solar panels you can use it to produce electricity.Wind power is similar.Water power (hydro-electric dams, tidal power, wave power) is similar.Boiling water from under the ground is renewable, too.
What renewable fuels generate electricity?
Some people view solar panels and wind mills as renewable energy.The main renewable fuels are biodiesel and wood.You can use a wood burning stove to heat your home.You can also use a windmill to produce electricity for your home.
What are two alternative methods used to harness renewable sources?
Solar panels and Concentrated Solar Towers generate electricity from the sun.Wind turbines use the power of the wind to spin electricity turbines.
