solar power comes from sunshine. sunshine is still free, but solar panels, on the other hand are very expensive. You could get free heat for your home by capturing free sunshine by well placed windows and thermal mass (concrete, brick, tile), for example and it will radiate heat throughout the night into your home while you are sleeping. This is an example of passive solar heating.

Why is it solar power?

Solar power is a popular renewable energy source because it is abundant, free, and non-polluting. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells, making it a clean and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Additionally, solar power can be harnessed in both large-scale solar farms and small residential installations, providing flexibility and accessibility.


How is sunshine free like solar energy?

Sunshine is solar energy. It is free if you collect your own solar energy because nobody legally owns the sun (and nobody ever will), therefore solar energy from the sun is free. However if you depend on a thrid party to deliver the energy to you from a solar power station, it will cost you a maintenance and delivery fee, to pay for the upkeep of the station. However, if you install your own solar panels rather than relying on a third party, it will cost you to install solar panels on your home, to convert your home to using solar energy and to take your home "off the system" (to remove your dependency from nationally-produced power). But it will not cost you anything to use solar energy from your own solar panels. In a couple of years, you would have produced enough personal energy from solar power to make the cost of the conversion worth it.


Is solar power renewable?

No, there is no way to put the power back in the sun.


What form of energy powers a solar power calculator?

How does solar power help humans?

Solar Power is an inexhaustible alternative energy source. Because the sun will never run out, we can use solar power for power. And even though solar panels cost a lot, the sun's power is free! However, at night or during long periods of bad weather, we will need another energy source to rely on.
