Economics. Photovoltaic cells--the most commonly used material / apparatus to convert sunlight to electricity, aka solar panels--are rather inefficient. On average only about 10-20% of the energy in the sunlight that strikes the earth's surface is actually converted to electricity via photovoltaic cells. Comparatively, coal and heating oil burning plants are much more efficient in that almost all of the heat energy created during fuel burning is transferred to steam that powers electricity generating turbines. Without getting into too much detail, photovoltaic cells are also costly to produce compared to large scale coal mining or oil drilling. The combination of the inefficiencies and the cost make solar power a less attractive option when simply considering economics sans moral & ethical issues. I am sure there is an efficiency inflection point at which solar power would become more economically viable compared to coal/oil, but I am not sure where that inflection point lies.

Is solar energy a renewable energy?
some people say it isnt if its the sun, so if u mean the the sun then no, it is not renewable. solar energy itself, you PROBABLY could...

there isnt really any use
Are fats energy stores found it nuts?
no it isnt
How does reusable energy work?
reusable energy is energy that is obtained from renewable sources when you put gas in your car, your using a fosil fuel that has a limited amount left on the planet. once used, the fuel is unuseable since it no longer can chemically combust in an engine. with renewable energy such as solar power or wind power, the energy source isnt used up like fosil fuel. with solar energy, solar radiation is converted into electricity via solar panels or a steam generator. since the sun has about 4 billion years let in her, theres no shortage of energy in the near future. the same with wind power, when wind is blown through a windmill, the wind simple passes through, not being destroyed in the process
When the thermal energy between two objects is the same?
it isnt the same
Are there other solar systems within the Milky Way galaxy?
no there isnt milky way and galaxy are made by nestle
Why aren't hurricanes tracks the same?
Everything is different is like asking why isnt every hill the same.
What helped immigrants retain the culture of their native lands?
it means everything is good and there isnt any problems.
Is heat a renewable source of energy?
heat coming from where? heat from a fire isnt, heat from the sun is.
Does the place to see a solar eclipses change?
yes it isnt just in one place. It happens all over the world but at different times. :)
What is a labor organization?
its when everyone in a certain group has everything organixed and there isnt no he or she gets more everythings the same and in orderly conduct
