Solar energy is connected to chemistry in three ways:
1. Conventional solar cells are created from silicon. Chemistry is used to purify and cut the silicon. Also, chemistry allowed us to find the semiconducting ability of silicon in the first place.
2. Nanotechnology is harnessing chemistry to create polymers that can be used for solar power in new ways - flexible solar cells, cheaper materials, and more efficient solar power.
3. Chemists are finding ways to separate hydrogen from oxygen in water so that we can change solar energy (light) into chemical energy (hydrogen, which can be stored and burned).

What is NRG in chemistry?
In chemistry, NRG can refer to the symbol for energy. Energy is a fundamental concept in chemistry that describes the capacity to do work or produce heat. It is associated with the motion and interactions of particles in a system.
How is chemical energy transformed into solar energy?
It just is Solar energy originates from nuclear fusion in the sun, so the question seems to be illogical. In fact solar energy is transformed into chemical energy in all living vegetation, by photosynthesis
Do heterotrophs convert solar energy into chemical energy?
No, heterotrophs cannot convert solar energy into chemical energy. Heterotrophs obtain their energy by consuming other organisms or organic matter that have already converted solar energy into chemical energy through processes like photosynthesis.
Identify the process in which solar energy is converted to chemical energy?
The process in which solar energy is converted to chemical energy is called photosynthesis. During this process, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. This chemical energy can then be stored in the form of carbohydrates for future use by the plant.
What is the type of energy transformed into chemical energy by plants?
during photosynthisis SOLAR energy is the type of energy which plants turn into chemical energy
Are solar panels an example of solar energy?
Solar panels are not an example of solar energy but rather they are means through which solar energy (that is energy from the sun) is converted into electricity. Check out the related link for great videos and information on solar panels.
What catasrophic event is related to solar radiation energy?
sunburn
What is potential energy in chemistry?
That's called "chemical energy". It refers to the energy related to the forces between atoms and molecules.Actually, there are also other types of potential energy in chemistry, such as heat of fusion, and heat of vaporization.
Can you give me a link to an article about solar energy?
See related links.
Are there any environmental concerns of solar energy?
To date there are few if any environmental concerns with solar energy. One stretch on this might be this: what types of energy are used to create solar energy components. And, are these components "earth friendly". So far solar engineers have seen no environmental related protests.
How is a solar collector related to solar energy?
A solar collector, or solar panel is what collects solar energy. The energy that is generated by the solar collector is then routed to either a battery or an inverter that converts the energy to AC voltage.
What does the term solar mean?
Solar is a term used to define anything that relates to the sun. Solar panels and heat, relies on energy from the sun.
What is pertaining to the sun?
"Pertaining to the sun" would refer to things related to the characteristics, phenomena, or study of the sun, such as solar flares, solar energy, or solar eclipses.
Why is solar energy potential and not kinetic?
I would classify it as kinetic - not potential - because it is energy related to the movement of the photons.
How is color related to solar energy?
The colors are made in factories. These factories need electricity to work. this electricity collect by solar energy. Also, solar energy is electromagnetic energy radiating from the Sun. This is wave energy and it has a wavelength, and color is associated with the wavelength, as in a rainbow.
Is solar found in nature?
Solar what? "Solar" is just an adjective that means "from the Sun", or "related to the Sun".If you mean solar energy, yes, nature gets sunlight, whether people are present or not.
How is a solar panel related to chloroplast?
Chloroplast converts light energy into chemical energy.Solar panel converts light energy into electric energy.
