The Sun and Solar Panels
It really depends what you want to do with it. You can sit in the sun and get warm - and you would be "getting solar energy". On the other hand, converting the solar energy to electricity requires specialized equipment.
The sun! :P
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.
Passive refers to a design that uses natural sunlight. It can be for lighting, as in skylights and large windows, or heating, where thermal glass is used. Active requires collecting solar energy with equipment ( pumps, storage tanks, etc. ) and storing or transferring the energy to where it is needed.
Solar energy is energy generated by the Sun. For example, the light that hits the Earth is solar energy, because it is produced by the Sun. Humans have created solar panels, which turn regular light solar energy into electricity, water, and heat energy.
Solar
Once the equipment has been paid for, solar energy is free.
I think that solar energy obtained through solar panel doesn't harm the environment.

Solar energy, all space equipment uses solar panels
Solar power supplies are used for creating an energy source with solar energy. Solar power uses sunlight, and the heat generated to power various equipment.
solar pannels are used to save light energy and conserve it for when its needed

From eating. Did you think they ran on solar power or something?
