Why solar energy is considered an inexhaustible source of energy?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
It is highly unlikely that the sun will stop shining any time soon, so in that sense, solar energy is inexhaustible.
However, solar energy is not really inexhaustible, because solar panels take up land and space.

∙ 13y agotechnically speaking, the sun IS exhaustible. It will one day burn out. The misconception that it is an inexhaustible natural resource comes from the simple fact that the Sun is not going anywhere anytime soon. It will be millions and millions of years from now when the Sun begins to die. Our star is a nuclear fusin engine and like all engines it is slowly burning off (no pun intended) its fuel supply of hydrogen and helium. We can create energy from its light using photovoltaic cell (solar panels) and LONG after fossil fuels are totally depleted the Sun will still be shining.

Is the energy source renewable or nonrenewable or inexhaustible?
all renewable energy resources (water falls, solar, wind, ...)a recource that winll not run out is wind water and elementsWind.
Is a solar cell an energy source?
A solar cell is not an energy source, but an energy converter. In the case of solar, the energy source is light, and the solar cell converts it from light energy to electrical energy.
Can nuclear energy be classified as inexhaustible?
Nuclear energy from uranium fission is not inexhaustible, because there is only a certain amount on Earth and we cannot recreate or manufacture it. There might be supplies elsewhere in the solar system but we don't know. If nuclear fusion can be successfully developed, and this uses deuterium from the oceans, then there would indeed be an almost inexhaustible source of energy, at least there is plenty there to last mankind for many thousands of years. (That does not make it renewable though!)
Why is solar energy considered inexhaustible source of energy?
Solar energy relies on the amount of sunshine its collectors receive. The Sun is expected to shine far into the future, making it an essentially inexhaustible supplier of solar energy.
Is solar energy inexhaustible energy resource?
Solar energy relies on the amount of sunshine its collectors receive. The Sun is expected to shine far into the future, making it an inexhaustable supplier of solar energy.A:No source of energy is inexhaustible.
Examples of inexhaustible resource?
some inexhaustible resources are wind, water and the sun (solar power)
Why is solar energy called resources of energy?
It is an equi-stable energy and can be rightly called the energy of the future, because it is an inexhaustible source of energy.

What are the edvantages of solar energy?
Solar energy is inexhaustible. Solar energy is not pollution. Solar energy can be used anywhere on Earth.
What are 3 inexhaustible?
Three inexhaustible sources of energy are, wind, sun (solar) and tidal. :)
Is a solar energy system considered as a blue energy source or a green energy source?
green energy source
Is fossil fuels a resource of inexhaustible solar energy?
Fossil fuel energy is from the sun originally that is true. But they are certainly not inexhaustible.
Why is wind considered to be an inexhaustible energy resource?
Solar energy relies on the amount of sunshine its collectors receive. The Sun is expected to shine far into the future, making it an inexhaustable supplier of solar energy.A:No source of energy is inexhaustible.
