Is a solar cell an energy source?

A solar cell is not an energy source, but an energy converter. In the case of solar, the energy source is light, and the solar cell converts it from light energy to electrical energy.


Can a solar cell drive a motor directly?

No, a solar cell alone cannot drive a motor directly. The power generated by a solar cell is typically in the form of direct current (DC), which needs to be converted into alternating current (AC) or stored in a battery before it can be used to power a motor. A motor requires a stable and consistent power source which may require additional components to work efficiently with a solar cell.


Is the sun solar power?

yes sun is the source for solar power


What source solar power generates from?

The source that solar power generates electricity is the sun. All solar power is generated by the sun. The sun's energy is consumed by solar powered objects.


What is the main source of power for the international space station?

The main source of power for the International Space Station (ISS) is its solar arrays, which convert sunlight into electricity. These solar panels provide the energy needed to power the station's systems and support its operations while in orbit.


How did the revolutions of the motor compare when the solar cell was held to an incandescent light source vs the sun as a light source?

The revolutions of the motor were likely lower when the solar cell was held to an incandescent light source compared to the sun as a light source. This is because incandescent light sources emit less intensity and different spectrum compared to sunlight, resulting in reduced power generation by the solar cell and, in turn, fewer revolutions of the motor.


How does solar power get its power?

Solar power is generated by an unlimited source of energy called the sun.


Is solar power a clean power source?

Yes, solar power is a clean power source. It produces no waste products due to running off of the photoelectric effect.


Can solar cells used in mobile phones?

No, cell phones draw too much power to be supplied by solar cells, unless you used a large solar panel. But you certainly can't build a solar cell into the back of the phone like you would a solar calculator. For example, one web source says a cell phone draws about 1 W. Another web source says solar panels can put out about 1.2 W for 100 cm2 in bright sunlight. So to power the cell phone you'd need a solar panel at least as large as a CD, probably more like a sheet of paper.


What power does solar power use?

Solar power is generated by an unlimited source of energy called the sun.


What kind of energy source is the solar power plant?

Sun is the source of solar energy. Heat is present in solar energy.
