Most forms of solar energy rely on daylight, so solar energy can't be used during night, coal fired power stations can be used day and night.
Coal power at it's simplest (coal fires) can be used for heating rooms and houses.

Forms of energy at home?
Electricity,gas,solar power, wind mills,oil fired generators wood and coal ranges and fires for cooking ang heating.
Is coal mining a reliable source of energy?
Coal mining will not last for long because coal is becoming scarce.
How can you produce energy apart from burning fossil fuels?
Apart from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), we produce electricity from renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).
How do you harness coal energy?
Most coal is used in the production of electricity by burning the coal to heat water to power steam turbines that run generators.
What types of energy sources are there?
there are many such as: Wind energy Solar energy coal oil Natural Gas Hydroelectric Power Nuclear Power Geothermal I could go on, but it will be a VERY long list.
Is solar power better than coal?
If this is a question of green energy, then yes, solar power is better than coal because it is a renewable source. Coal is a fossil fuel that is non-renewable.
How are coal and solar energy alike?
Coal and solar energy are alike because they both are having to do with energy and they are both formed ny the sun or have sun in them. Although, solar energy is renewable and coal is non-renewable they both have some similarities.
How are coal and solar energy simliar?
The only thing similar is each produces energy. The coal is the dirtiest form while solar is the cleanest.
Why is solar power being developed?
Solar power is another way for us to harness energy. Natural resources such as coal and oil are limited resources and we are using them quickly. Solar energy is also better for the environment.
What is the renewable property of coal and solar energy?
The sun?
Is solar power better then coal power?
Solar power is more environment friendly than coal power. Solar power is, however, more expensive than coal power.
How is solar energy useful to people?
it provides energy without burning coal.
Why use coal as a energy?
Coal is abundant and easy to harvest from the earth to produce electricity relative to nuclear energy. Solar energy is abundant but difficult to harvest compared to coal.
In what sense is energy from coal actually solar energy?
Coal is derived from plant material which was produced by solar energy during photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is roughly H20 + CO2 + solar energy = Ch20 + O2, which converts CO2 and water to oxygen and plant material as the plant grows.
Types of energy used in China?
Coal, wind, hydroelectricity, and solar. Coal is most used.
What is stored in coal and petroleum which makes these resources very useful?
Solar energy is stored in coal and petroleum.
What natural resources were Europeans looking for?
The European Union uses several different types of renewable energy. In Europe many utilize wind energy, as well as solar energy. Other types of renewable sources of energy used by Europe are bioenergy, geothermal power, wave power and hydrogen fuel.
