There is a lack of fossil fuels in both countries that spurred a move to use renewable solar energy as a resource. Additionally, both countries have long sunny periods.
Solar energy is probably the second or third most used form of energy. The first would be coal, and then solar would have to be compared to wind energy. Solar is most popular in Europe and places like the US. However, wind energy is probably more widely used than solar.
"Non-conventional" refers more or less to anything that is not fossil fuels. It may be solar energy (i.e., directly capturing the solar energy), or several other types of energy - such as wind energy, water energy, and many others more.
Solar Energy is like any other electricity, it's stored in batteries and is no more easy or hard to move than any other electricity.
The further north you go from the equator the cooler it is. Cold countries are perhaps more likely to have useful winds to harness rather then solar energy.
Japan and the United States have more solar-heated homes than many other countries due to a combination of favorable government policies, technological innovation, and public awareness of renewable energy benefits. In Japan, supportive incentives and initiatives post-Fukushima have accelerated the adoption of solar energy, while the U.S. has seen a surge in residential solar installations driven by tax credits and decreasing technology costs. Both countries also benefit from a strong culture of environmental sustainability and energy independence, further promoting the use of solar heating systems.
Solar energy is energy, it can't waste energy.The process of converting incoming solar energy into other forms of energy that are more useful to us (which is often, confusingly, still called "solar energy") does in fact waste some of the input energy, since no real conversion process is 100% efficient.
Yes, solar energy can be transformed into a usable form such as electricity through the use of solar panels. The cost of generating solar energy has decreased significantly in recent years, making it more affordable and competitive with other energy sources.
Some benefits of electric solar panels over other sources of energy would be that they are more cost efficient and using solar panels are better for the environment.
The two can't be compared. If you use solar energy, you'll also be using electricity - the electricity from the solar panels (unless you are talking about the other type of solar panel: the one used to directly heat water).
Hydroelectric energy is the most resourceful renewable energy used in Russia. Solar energy (which has some potential) should not only compete with hydroelectric energy, but also with other solar energy companies. Commercial competition in the consumer solar energy markets will forcefully bring the prices of solar panels down.
