There's two ways, I know one; the solar panels reflect sunlight to the top of a tower, the heat boils water to make steam and the steam spins a turbine to create energy.

How do solar cars work during the day?

Solar cars gain energy from the sun or wind to make fuel or power that have been stored in their batteries or fuel tanks. They use the power in their batteries or fuel tanks to run during the day!


How do solar cars work during the day and night?

Solar cars gain the energy from the sun or from the wind to store it in their batteries or fuel tanks. They use the power to make fuel that allows them to travel during the day and night!

When can't you take anymore energy from matter?

This has to do with the firstlaw of thermodynamics (physics stuff) that says energy can not be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed. There is the same amount of energy on/in the planet as there has been since the beginning of time. Fossil fuel (coal, natural gas) is basically just the remains of dinosaurs changed in a way that allows us to use the energy. There are lots of other types of energy - solar, electrical, chemical, wind, but you can never create new energy. We can only work with what we've already got! The problem with this whole "energy crisis" has to do with the KINDS of energy that we have to work with. We are running out of fossil fuel. There were only so many dinosaurs on the planet that died, you know? And fossil fuel is a form of HIGH energy, meaning that it is very good quality and we can get a lot out of it and use it for lots of different things. Other types of energy, like solar energy, isn't as good quality. True, there is a LOT more solar energy than fossil fuel energy, but the solar energy is harder to work with. It's harder to store. It would take A LOT of solar panels to heat a house up and only a little bit of fossil fuel to do the same amount of work. So the energy crisis of today is basically scientists trying to figure out a fast way to use the energy that we already have in lower forms (solar, electrical, etc). They are trying to figure out a way to be able to other forms of energy as easily and readily as we do fossil fuel, because eventually we won't have any more fossil fuel left on the planet.

Can solar energy be changed into thermal energy without any work being done?

Yes, solar energy can be converted into thermal energy passively through techniques like solar water heaters or concentrating solar power systems. These systems absorb sunlight and directly generate heat without the need for mechanical work.
