Solar energy is considered free because sunlight is a renewable resource that is freely available. Once the initial investment in solar panels is made, there are no ongoing fuel costs associated with generating electricity from sunlight. However, there are initial costs for purchasing and installing the solar panels and equipment to convert sunlight into usable energy.

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.
