2 ways, in a solar collector the sun is concetrated to a focal point like burning things with a magnifying glass, witch is used to boil the water into steam and used to drive the generator. in a photo voltaic system heat is generated through resistance and is useless for the most part.

How is solar energy transferred?
Solar energy is radiation that comes from the sun. It can generate electricity and produce heat. They convert solar radiation into electricity.
Harnessing the sun's energy to produce heat or electricity is what?
non-polluting
What type of energy does solar energy produce?
Solar energy is a wavelength. Solar panels produce D.C. or direct current.
Harnessing the Sun's energy to produce heat or electricity is called what?
It is usually referred to as solar power.
How does solar energy differ from heat energy?
Heat energy is measured by temperature and solar energy is the energy that comes from the sun in the form of heat or light. Isabel B.

What kind of energy is being produced by sunlight and solar panels?
Sunlight and photovoltaic (PV) panels (solar panels) produce electricity.Sunlight and a solar thermal collector produce heat by capturing solar radiation. The heat is then used to heat water, heat air, cook food, or heat a fluid that drives a turbine which creates electricity.Photoelectrochemical cells or PECs are solar cells that produce electrical energy or hydrogen in a process similar to the electrolysis of water.

What does solar fusion produce?
Helium, and energy released which produces heat and radiation.
What two types of energy does the sun produce?
Light Energy and Solar Energy are all a part produced by the sun.
How is solar energy stored energy?
Solar energy, whether heat or light, is not stored energy. It is radiant energy. It needs to be converted in order to store it. Plants produce glucose, which stores it as chemical energy. Solar heat installations usually store it as heat in a fluid. Solar electric installations produce current electricity, which can be stored in various ways including batteries and pumped water storage.
What are different uses of solar energy?
solar energy can be used to produce electricity.it can also use for home at low level.through this we can heat water
Harnessing the sun's energy to produce heat or electricity is what?
non-polluting
How did solar energy develop as a source of energy?
it become heat and radiate like a nuclear plant produce alot of of energy while your at it
