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 turned into energy you can use?

well there is already light energy which allows us to seeit can be trapped by solar powered batteries and convert to electrical energyplants trap the light and converts it to chemical energy to create food.. (photosynthesis)it can also be converted to heat energy which warms the earth's surface...


How can solar energy be used?

Solar energy can be used directly for water heating, or it can be converted to electric energy using photo-voltaic cellsA:Solar energy works by the use of silicon structured panels. These panels can trap the heat from the sun and convert it to more common energy, electricity. The electricity is then channeled to a power plant like building which distributes the energy accordingly. These panels can also be installed in your own home. There are several ways of capturing and using the sun's energy, including photovoltaic cells, active solar energy, passive solar energy and concentrating solar power systems.


What is a gas that traps solar energy?

A gas that traps solar energy is called a greenhouse gas. The main ones are water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. They trap the infrared heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.


Two general types of energy are kinetic energy and?

Potential energy. An example of potential energy is a charged mouse trap. An example of kinetic energy is the mouse trap being sprung. Potential energy can be thought of as "stored kinetic energy". And kinetic energy can be thought of as "released potential energy"

Why are chloroplasts a lot like solar panels of a solar calculator?

Chloroplasts and solar panels both trap solar power from the Sun and converts it to energy so function the main organism or device. In a calculator, solar power trapped is being converted to electrical energy so that it does not require batteries to operate. In chloroplasts, solar power is being used to make food for the plant.
