Solar energy is only useful when the sun is shining. During the night, your expensive solar equipment will be useless and solar energy installation requires a large area for the system to be efficient in providing a source of electricity.

What are some limitations of solar energy?
to keep it from plants dying
What are two differences between using solar energy and wind energy?
1. solar energy you get from the sun while wind energy you get from the wind 2. solar energy you have to have solar things (ex solar ovens) wind energy you need a windmill for.
What are two forms reasons that solar energy has not replaced energy fromfossil fuels?
solar energy is only working when the sun is shining.
What are the main two disadvantages of solar energy?
solar energy cannot be collected at night or cloudy days, and when they turn the solar {sunlight} to make energy it releases a harmful chemical.
With which two forms of solar energy are most familiar?
Chemical energy and wind
What are some limitations of solar energy?

Can electricity make solar energy?
No. Solar and electric are two different types of energy. The only thing that can produce solar energy is the Sun.
What are two differences between using solar energy and wind energy?
1. solar energy you get from the sun while wind energy you get from the wind 2. solar energy you have to have solar things (ex solar ovens) wind energy you need a windmill for.
What are the forms of solar energy?
The two primary forms of solar energy are Solar Heat (also called CSP, or Concentrating Solar Power) and Solar Photovoltaic.
Explain some of the limitations of solar energy?
solar energy is available only when the sun is shining. Solar collectors and cells work less efficiently on cloudy days. they don't work at all at night. and during winter, when days are short, the collectors and cells generate less energy.
What are two forms reasons that solar energy has not replaced energy fromfossil fuels?
solar energy is only working when the sun is shining.
What are two ways of collecting solar energy?
Solar panels and geothermal reservoirs! They both can hold energy and collect it!
