How is sunshine free like solar energy?
Sunshine is solar energy. It is free if you collect your own solar energy because nobody legally owns the sun (and nobody ever will), therefore solar energy from the sun is free. However if you depend on a thrid party to deliver the energy to you from a solar power station, it will cost you a maintenance and delivery fee, to pay for the upkeep of the station. However, if you install your own solar panels rather than relying on a third party, it will cost you to install solar panels on your home, to convert your home to using solar energy and to take your home "off the system" (to remove your dependency from nationally-produced power). But it will not cost you anything to use solar energy from your own solar panels. In a couple of years, you would have produced enough personal energy from solar power to make the cost of the conversion worth it.
Is solar energy more efficient than nuclear energy?
Solar energy and nuclear energy are both efficient in their own ways. Solar energy is renewable and non-polluting, but it is dependent on weather conditions and location. Nuclear energy is a reliable source of power, but it produces radioactive waste and has associated safety concerns. The efficiency of each depends on factors such as cost, environmental impact, and energy output.
How can solar energy be used?
Solar energy can be used directly for water heating, or it can be converted to electric energy using photo-voltaic cellsA:Solar energy works by the use of silicon structured panels. These panels can trap the heat from the sun and convert it to more common energy, electricity. The electricity is then channeled to a power plant like building which distributes the energy accordingly. These panels can also be installed in your own home. There are several ways of capturing and using the sun's energy, including photovoltaic cells, active solar energy, passive solar energy and concentrating solar power systems.
How a secondary consumer is dependent on the sun for its energy?
A secondary consumer relies on primary producers (plants) for energy, which ultimately derive their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. The energy from the sun is converted into organic matter through the process of photosynthesis, which is then consumed by the secondary consumer for its own energy needs. This demonstrates the interconnectedness of the food chain and the dependency of secondary consumers on solar energy.
What is the problem with solar energy?
Solar energy, while being quite useful, can also have it's own problems. For example, how does solar energy work if you occupy a place that rains most of the time? The sun is never out so, no solar-power. Furthermore, the rate of efficiency with solar panels is only 40%, is it worth all the money that is paid for them?
The sun's own energy comes from solar energy?
Yes, and it is formed from the process called nuclear fusion. The sun's own energy comes from nuclear reactions taking place in the sun's core.
How do solar panels work, and how effective are they?
Solar cells convert the suns energy and converts it to electricity. They rely on the ability of matter to emit electrons when light is shone on it. If you would like to do your own research, physics.org will be very helpful.
What country invented solar energy system origanatewho invented solar energy.?
Solar energy is energy from the sun, so really it forms on it own, but Russell Ohl discovered it and he was from America.
What are the names of Jupiters suns?
Jupiter has only one sun, the same one we have. It is usually just referred to as 'the sun', or Sol.
What are bacteria called that can make their own food without using the Suns energy?
Chemo-synthesizers.
Is solar power a form of geothermal energy?
No, solar power is not a form of geothermal energy. Solar power is generated by converting sunlight into electricity using solar panels. Geothermal energy, on the other hand, harnesses heat from beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity or heat buildings.
Is there a single sun in universe?
There is a single sun in our own solar system, but not in the universe. There are trillions upon trillions of suns (or stars) in the universe.
Three uses of solar energy?
Whats the difference between solar energy and regular energy, nothing. So what are three uses of "non-solar" energy? I assume you want the benefits of solar energy, but that has its own question. Be more specific and think a little when entering answers.
Do plants get diabetes?
no plants don't get diabetes because they produce their own food by the suns energy so they are called autotrophs.

What organism makes its own food using solar energy?
Green plants.
What are some pros and cons of using solar energy?
One will find using solar energy has it's own set of pros and cons. Since using solar energy doesn't produce pollution, it can help improve the environment of the earth. However, a con of using solar energy would be the production of the solar energy collecting devices, which do produce quite a bit of pollution.
