Best Answer

From <28470 kJ/kg to about 35380 kJ/kg, depending on the kind of coal and how efficiently it is burned. The figures assume 100% efficiency, which is never reached.

Does solar energy create as much energy as coal?

"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.
