Because of the heat of the sun passes through to it
Some useful energy transfers include converting solar energy into electricity through solar panels, converting wind energy into electricity through wind turbines, and converting chemical energy in fossil fuels into electricity in power plants.
Electricity is not required for solar panels to collect energy from the sun. However, some sort of device to collect and store the energy is needed for the energy to be useful.
With some form of energy...Perhaps, electricity? Or solar energy? /shrug.
because they use solar energy
Lightning, solar energy, hydroelectric energy, geothermal energy, nuclear energy, and wind energy.
Solar power is a sustainable energy source; the Sun emits solar energy regardless of whether we capture it and transform it into electricity. This means that it can be used as an energy source indefinitely without fear that the resource providing it will run out. 1. Solar energy is free although there is a cost in the building of 'collectors' and other equipment required to convert solar energy into electricity or hot water. 2. Solar energy does not cause pollution. However, solar collectors and other associated equipment / machines are manufactured in factories that in turn cause some pollution. 3. Solar energy can be used in remote areas where it is too expensive to extend the electricity power grid. 4. Many everyday items such as calculators and other low power consuming devices can be powered by solar energy effectively. 5. It is estimated that the worlds oil reserves will last for 30 to 40 years. On the other hand, solar energy is infinite (forever).
Some sources of energy other than electricity include fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and natural gas), renewable sources (such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy), and biomass (such as wood and biofuels). These sources can be used to generate electricity, but they can also be used directly for heating, transportation, and other applications.
Some examples of solar energy include solar panels on rooftops or in solar farms that convert sunlight into electricity, solar water heaters that use sunlight to heat water for residential or commercial use, and small-scale solar-powered gadgets like calculators or outdoor lights.
solar power and hybrid tech. and electricity
Solar energy can be transformed into electrical energy through photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight directly into electricity. Solar thermal systems use the heat from the sun to generate electricity through steam turbines. Solar energy can also be converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis in plants, which store energy in the form of biomass.
Other than fossil fuels, electricity can be generated from renewable energy sources such as solar power, wind energy, hydroelectricity, and geothermal energy. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, while wind turbines harness wind motion. Hydroelectric power utilizes flowing water to generate energy, and geothermal energy taps into heat from the Earth's interior. These sources contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy mix.
The energy that is not converted into electricity by solar cells is typically lost as heat. Solar cells are not 100% efficient at converting sunlight into electricity, so some energy is wasted in the form of heat as a byproduct of the conversion process.
