The main element from the Periodic Table used to make a solar cell is silicon.

A simple solar cell consists of a sandwich of a 'silicon-boron' layer and a 'silicon-arsenic' layer. The amount of boron and arsenic present is however very small.

How hard is it to find solar energy?

Solar Energy can be found by going outside, capturing it is the hard part. Solar panels are the most efficient way of going about this. Panels can be expensive and hard to buy, but very easy to find.
