Every day, the sun radiates more energy than all our fuel consumptions but most of this is absorbed by either plants, the ground or the oceans and used as heat energy to keep us warm and keep things alive Obviously, we are not always going to have solar energy, there will be disasters, rain, cloud, even a shadow can effect the amount of solar energy produced, it is not a stable form of energy The production of solar panels will require huge factories, silicon, vacuum and lots of heat, despite the fact that you can make a solar panel at home to demonstrate things, it is just inefficient. We could consider using the heat energy to do some cooking or dry some clothes. It can be done using solar cookers which cost next to nothing to build. But the main disadvantages of solar energy are these things: # Solar panels too expensive # Not stable # requires a lot of space(use up the deserts, but you have to make sure that solar panels does not break or get blown all over the place) # Batteries&Inverters needed for homemade solar energy
Solar energy uses the photoelectric effect to convert light energy into electrical energy. When sunlight shines on a solar panel, the photoelectric effect causes electrons to be released, creating an electric current.
A solar panel is a device that converts solar energy from the sun into electricity through the photovoltaic effect.
A solar panel, also known as a photovoltaic panel, converts solar energy into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect where sunlight is converted into electricity using semiconductor materials.
A solar panel is a device that absorbs the Sun's radiant energy and converts it into electricity through a photoelectric effect.
No, solar energy and solar cells are not the same, although sometimes people do use the phrases as though they were interchangable. Solar energy is energy that is transferred from the sun to the earth. Solar cells are devices that turn energy from the sun into photovoltaic energy that we can use.
Solar energy uses the photoelectric effect to convert light energy into electrical energy. When sunlight shines on a solar panel, the photoelectric effect causes electrons to be released, creating an electric current.
Yes solar energy is the CAUSE of our seasons.
Solar energy is not heat
A solar panel is a device that converts solar energy from the sun into electricity through the photovoltaic effect.
Because solar energy is cheap and , it does not cause poloution.
Yes, in fact solar energy is the cause of evaporation from the oceans
none
it does not cause pollution
Solar storms effect radio communication and in some instances cause black outs of electricity.
Solar energy was discovered in the 19th century when photovoltaic effect was first observed. In 1839, Alexandre Edmond Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect, which laid the foundation for the development of solar panels to harness solar energy. Since then, advancements in technology have made solar energy a viable and sustainable source of power.
Yes.
Solar energy is one of the environmental friendly ways to harness energy. It does not cause environmental pollution. It will be the energy of the future.
