Sunlight and photovoltaic (PV) panels (solar panels) produce electricity.
Sunlight and a solar thermal collector produce heat by capturing solar radiation. The heat is then used to heat water, heat air, cook food, or heat a fluid that drives a turbine which creates electricity.
Photoelectrochemical cells or PECs are solar cells that produce electrical energy or hydrogen in a process similar to the electrolysis of water.

What kind of energy is being produced by sunlight - heat or electricity?

Sunlight produces both heat and electricity. When sunlight is absorbed by materials, it can generate heat. It can also be converted into electricity through photovoltaic cells that capture the sunlight and convert it into electrical energy.


What are energy transformations from the sunlight to a knife sharpener?

Sunlight is converted to electricity through solar panels, which could then power a knife sharpener. The solar panels capture the sunlight's energy and convert it into electrical energy, which is then used to power the knife sharpener's motor, resulting in the sharpener being powered by sunlight indirectly.


What energy is being converted when the sun gives energy to solar panels?

Anywhere from 10-23% of sunlight is converted into "usable" electricity.


What energy is being converted when solar panels give energy to a light bulb?

Solar panels produce electrical energy when sunlight falls directly on them. The power of sunlight is about 1400 watts in every square metre and a solar panel converts some of that into volts and amps. Solar panels need direct sunlight falling face-on to produce a significant amount of electrical power. They also produce a very small amount of power when turned towards a bright sky without direct sunlight, and an even smaller amount on a cloudy day.

How does solar energy create energy and power homes and businesses?

Solar energy is created when sunlight is converted into electricity through solar panels. These panels are made up of photovoltaic cells that capture the sunlight and convert it into usable electricity. This electricity can then be used to power homes and businesses by being connected to the electrical grid or stored in batteries for later use.


Where is the sun's energy produced?

The energy in the Sun is primarily produced in the core, where nuclear fusion reactions convert hydrogen into helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. This energy then travels outward through the Sun's layers before being emitted as sunlight into space.


How does a skateboard get energy from the sun?

A skateboard does not directly get energy from the sun. However, solar panels can be used to convert sunlight into electricity, which can then be used to power technologies like electric skateboards.


Why are chloroplasts a lot like solar panels of a solar calculator?

Chloroplasts and solar panels both trap solar power from the Sun and converts it to energy so function the main organism or device. In a calculator, solar power trapped is being converted to electrical energy so that it does not require batteries to operate. In chloroplasts, solar power is being used to make food for the plant.


Do solar panels work?

Yes, solar panels do work but it depends what you are using them for. A lot of solar panels are for toys etc and they would be small. But there are solar panels suited, being larger, for industry or residential.

Why is sunlight not a source of energy?

Sunlight IS a source of energy. It has its drawbacks - like not being available during night - but it's definitely energy.
