Solar energy produced only 0.1 percent of US total electricity in 2006, so it is hardly replacing anything as yet in that total. More solar energy is captured by individual houses and used for water heating and possibly space heating, not in photo-voltaic cells. This partially replaces whatever that particular house normally uses. Might be natural gas or liquefied stored gas, might be coal, might be electricity. If the latter, this will have been generated mostly from coal and natural gas, with some 20 percent nuclear.
What else can I help you with?
Is solar energy fossil fuel?
No it isn't a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels include coal and oil.
What are non-example of fossil fuel?
solar energy
Why is the ability to produce solar energy is limited?
disadvantages of solar energy opposed to fossil fuel?
What type of energy that you cannot get from fossil fuel?
solar energy, if we didn't have solar, get ready to say bye-bye to earth, we will all be dead. We need solar energy before we can even hav fossil fuel energy. (wind energy is another one)
What is another source than fossil fuel?
Solar Energy
Is fossil fuels a resource of inexhaustible solar energy?
Fossil fuel energy is from the sun originally that is true. But they are certainly not inexhaustible.
Is solar a fossil fuel?
No its not a fossil fuel
Is solar cell a fossil fuel?
No. Solar cells convert solar energy into electricity. The main fossil fuels used today are natural gas, oil and coal and are taken from underground deposits. The energy produced by a solar cell is not fossil fuel based, however the materials used to produce the cell, many, are fossile fuel based.
How can fossil fuels be used as solar energy?
The hydrocarbons used in the fossil fuel are the product of photosynthesis, that took place in the plants of carboniferous age. Since photosynthesis require solar energy, these fossil fuels have also been derived from solar energy.
What other resource could be used if fossil fuel was lost?
solar energy
2 ways solar energy can be used to reduce fossil fuel use?
by solar heating bulidings
Why is solar energy good to fossil fuels?
because solar energy is renewable (never gets used up), solar energy is energy from the sun, it will never run out....fossil fuels such as oil coal and gas are getting used up fast, they are non renewable and so it is a big issue....so using solar energy is good to fossil fuel because then the fossil fuels will not get used up.
