"Create as much energy" is poorly defined. The amount of energy produced from solar energy will depend on the surface area used for solar panels, the weather, the efficiency of the panels, and for how long it is used. Similarly, the amount of energy produced by a coal power plant would depend on its size, its efficiency (which of course may also vary), and for how long it is used. Please think about what exactly you want to compare.
Generators are nearly always used for nuclear power, and sometimes used for solar power. In nuclear power plants, the reactor makes steam to run a generator. Much of solar produced electricity does not use a generator, but produces power through a photovoltaic effect. Concentrated solar can be used to make steam to run a generator.
The energy output of a solar updraft tower depends on its size and location, but it can potentially generate hundreds of megawatts of power. This renewable energy technology uses the sun's heat to create an updraft that drives turbines to generate electricity.
130 percent more than wind energy energy
This depends entirely on the efficiency and size of the solar panels, and the lighting conditions.
Not enough america is one of the contenders to global warming.
The Sun is scheduled to remain shining as at present for the next several billion years. Solar energy is dependent on the Sun's rays reaching the solar panel, so on cloudy days the panels produce very much less power, although they do produce a little, as the salesmen are keen to emphasize.But the point about solar energy is that every unit or kWh of electricity produced by solar contributes to the pool of power, to the extent that 1 kg of carbon dioxide is not emitted by the local fossil-fuelled power plant.
About 1000 watts per square meter is the maximum power that can hit the surface of the Earth in most places. This requires the best angle to the sun and clear sky conditions.

solar cells generate electric currents directly from the sun light
In the future, solar energy shall become much more efficient, making electricity power cheaper. Nowadays it represents a small fraction of the total energy produced on the whole world. However, as new technologies on solar energy become more advanced, it will be an important (and cheap) source of energy. Residences will be able to store energy from the sun, so dropping the cost of the monthly energy bill.
