Can solar energy be changed into thermal energy without any work being done?

Yes, solar energy can be converted into thermal energy passively through techniques like solar water heaters or concentrating solar power systems. These systems absorb sunlight and directly generate heat without the need for mechanical work.


Where does all the solar energy go when it is converted?

If the solar panels are conected directly to an engine or motor or any electric item directly the enrgy will go in the electric item and you cannot store the energy the item will start working ,if you connect an battry or capaciter the energy will be stored in that and when ever you want to use it you can use it,and if the solar panel is not connected to any item the energy will go waste.


What is the difference between solar energy and solar power?

Solar energy refers to the radiant energy emitted by the sun, while solar power refers to the generation of electricity using solar energy through technologies like solar panels. Solar energy is the source, and solar power is the way we harness and utilize that energy.


What is the difference between light energy and solar energy?

Light energy refers to electromagnetic radiation that can be seen by the human eye, while solar energy specifically refers to the energy derived from the sun's electromagnetic radiation. Solar energy encompasses a broader spectrum of energy that includes both light energy and non-visible forms of energy such as infrared and ultraviolet radiation.


Are solar power and solar energy the same?

The term is used to describe either but there is a difference in solar Electricity and solar energy.Solar Energy is a very broad term which can describe Solar electric (PV), Solar Thermal, Solar Heating etc., just about any form of power that can derived from the sun.Solar Power or Solar Electric is generally related to solar photovoltaics, specifically which is taking photons from the sunlight and turning it directly into electrical current.AnswerThe correct term is solar energy panel, despite the term 'solar power panel' being widely used. This is because solar photovoltaic panels supply energy. The rate at which they supply energy is a measure of their power.

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 will solar energy improve?

solar energy will improve by not using any coal or oil so that it does not pollute the earth and you will heat your house by using solar energy. <><><><> Possible improvements include lower costs of solar energy system components, higher efficency in the conversion of solar energy, and improvements in storing solar energy (it gets dark at night, y'know?)


What are some positives to solar energy?

1.Most solar energy doesn't take any power to run and produces no pollutants. 2.Solar energy (sunlight) is free and virtually unlimited.


How do trees affect solar energy?

Trees use solar energy for photosynthesis, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and using the carbon to grow. They don't affect solar energy in any way.


Is the moon a source of solar energy?

No, it is not source of any energy as it is a planet not a star.
