No, solar energy and solar cells are not the same, although sometimes people do use the phrases as though they were interchangable.
Solar energy is energy that is transferred from the sun to the earth.
Solar cells are devices that turn energy from the sun into photovoltaic energy that we can use.

What does solar cell has to do with solar energy?
solar means the sun and we use solar cells to convert into energy which gives you electricity.
How is solar energy collected and then turned into useable energy?
Solar energy can be collected in solar cells and can be transferred into storage battery converting into electrical energy.
What device is used to convert solar energy to electricity?
solar cells are used to convert solar energy to electricity.
How can we trap solar energy?
by using solar photovoltaic (SPV) cells which traps solar energy and then converts it into electricity.
How is solar energy recovered?
Solar energy is recovered by using solar panels. The solar cells on the solar panels use the energy from the sun to produce the electricity used for everyday life.
How can electricity be derived from solar cells?
Solar cells have stored solar energy that is converted into electrical energy.
What energy is used in solar cells?
Solar Energy
Which is efficient amorphous or crystalline solar cell?
As of 2007,* commercial amorphous Si solar cells convert about 8% of the solar energy that strikes them into electrical energy.* multicrystalline Si solar cells convert around 16% of the solar energy that strikes them into electrical energy* commercial single crystal Si solar cells convert about 22% of the solar energy that strikes them into electrical energy.So single crystal Si solar cells have the highest energy conversion efficiency.However, amorphous Si solar cells require less energy to produce and are less expensive than multicrystalline Si solar cells, which in turn require less energy to produce and are less expensive than single crystal Si solar cells.In some cases amorphous Si solar cells are more economically efficient (produce more power for the same initial price or initial investment in energy to produce).
What energy is used in cells?
Solar Energy
Cells that convert solar energy directly into electricity are called?
Photovoltaic cells converts solar energy into electricity.
How do you store solar energy?
The solar planar cells on the earth receive the solar energy from sun and this energy can be stored in batteries

Examples of energy forms changing?
solar cells change radiation energy energy into electrical energy solar cells change radiation energy energy into electrical energy solar cells change radiation energy energy into electrical energy
What is a pro for solar energy?
solar cells are quiet and non polluting
