"Create as much energy" is poorly defined. The amount of energy produced from solar energy will depend on the surface area used for solar panels, the weather, the efficiency of the panels, and for how long it is used. Similarly, the amount of energy produced by a coal power plant would depend on its size, its efficiency (which of course may also vary), and for how long it is used. Please think about what exactly you want to compare.
What else can I help you with?
What quiestions are there about solar energy?
A question about solar energy could be: what is solar energy?: what does solar energy do?:does solar energy do anything for the earth/planet?
How do you harvest solar power?
Solar Power is primarily harvested by placing solar cells mostly made up of elements such as silver which take in the sunlight and later convert it into electrical energy. Though the energy produced in less in amount when compared to other energy sources such as coal and petroleum, it is a much cleaner fuel than both of them and is a non-renewable source of energy. Nowadays, it has become more popular due to it's non-pollution feature.
Is solar energy nonrenewble?
Solar energy is renewable. No matter how much sunlight we use, the sun continues to shine, and it is expected to do so for billions of years in the future.
How much solar energy is used per year?
about 100,000,000 a year
How much solar energy is left in this world?
ANSWER:Solar energy is of course produced from the collection of sunlight by solar cells. Our Sun is considered to be 4.5 billion years and its going to be around at least that much longer. See the related link for more information.
What is renewable alternative to coal?
You can use many different things. some examples are: Bio-Fuel (still in development) Wind (not as reliable as coal) solar (doesn't produce as much energy as coal) hydro (doesn't produce as much energy as coal)
How much energy does Australia use in a year?
Australia uses fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), solar energy, hydroelectric energy and wind-generated power.
Is solar energy widely accepted?
Not as Much as Wind, Because Solar Panels Cost More Than Wind Turbines , If the Two Create The Same Amount Of Energy The Solar Would Have Costed More to produce the Panels.
Who likes solar energy?
There is not much to dislike about solar energy.
How much energy in the United States comes from burning petroleum natural gas and coal?
About 80% of the energy consumed in the United States comes from burning petroleum, natural gas, and coal, with petroleum being the largest contributor followed by natural gas and then coal. Renewable energy sources like wind and solar are steadily increasing their share of the energy mix.
How much solar energy is used in VA?
how solar energy is used
What quiestions are there about solar energy?
A question about solar energy could be: what is solar energy?: what does solar energy do?:does solar energy do anything for the earth/planet?
What percentage does Australia use green energy compared to fossil fuel?
As of 2021, Australia generates around 25% of its electricity from renewable sources, including wind, solar, and hydro. The majority of Australia's electricity still comes from fossil fuels, particularly coal, which accounts for around 70% of the country's energy mix.
Why are there more coal power plants then solar power plants?
There are more coal plants than solar plants because the cost per Mega-Watt is much less using coal than solar power, and currently coal is more efficient. The problem today is that in a environmentally conscious society coal is a 'dirty' fuel, and solar power is clean. That is why environmentalists are pushing for more Solar (and wind) power generation.
What controls how much solar energy is received at a given location?
How much given solar energy is received in a given location is that you have enough sunlight to create solar energy because solar means light waves from the sun. So if there is a lot of sunlight in your community/area you will get a lot/or a medium amount of solar energy, but if you don't have a lot of sunlight in your community/area then you won't get a lot of solar energy. Angle of deflection and shade trees, as well as cloud cover have a direct effect on the amount of convertible lightwaves available for conversion to electricity.
How much of the energy in burning coal reaches the consumer as electricity?
One third of coal's energy reaches the consumer.
How much of your energy is supplied by coal?
10%
