What does it mean when a solar panel has 14.3 percent efficiency.Isn't that a bad thing?

Most solar panels are well below that value. This means that the panel is able to convert 14.3% of the energy that hits it into power.

What affects if any do solar ovens have on the environment?
Solar ovens do not have any effect on the environment! Which makes it a great thing.
Is there a such thing as a solar microwave?

Where is solar energy recovered?
Well friend...It a beautiful thing called Solar Panel, that contain Solar cells that "catch" the waves of the Sun and uses it as power. :)
What happens to a solar panel during raining?
The most crucial thing that happens to the panel is that it gets wet. Nothing else happens.
How does solar produce energy?
Solar electric panels are made up of silicon, the same thing that makes up sand.When sunlight hits a solar panel, it makes electrons in the silicon move around. The electrons flow through wires that were built into the solar panel and hey presto! - we have electricity!Solar energy can produce electricity by the photo-voltaic process (Solar Cell) and can be produce via a heat engine process (Solar Thermal).
Is a solar cell a solar panel?
Solar powered boards are contained a few individual sunlight based cells which are themselves made out of layers of silicon, phosphorous (which gives the negative charge), and boron (which gives the positive charge). Sun powered boards ingest the photons and in doing so start an electric flow.. For more details please visit SunEdison infrastructure Limited
How can solar power be used in Britain?
The great thing about solar power is that it can be used anywhere the sun shines. That means, pretty much anywhere. The key is having a complete system in place, which includes the solar panel (collector) and an inverter if AC power is needed.
