Question

what is solar energy? write some of it's uses
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt power plants and artificial photosynthesis. Uses for solar energy extend to water heating systems. Most solar water heating solutions create hot water that is consumed inside the home. Solar water heaters use a rooftop cell to absorb the sun's heat and transfer it to the water tank

Answer 2

Answer:

The Sun produces a lot of energy called solar energy. Australia gets 20,000 times more energy from the Sun each day than we do from oil, gas and coal. Solar panels are made of solar cells, which is the part that turns the solar energy in sunlight into electricity. Solar cells make electricity directly from sunlight.

The most common use of solar energy is solar thermal water heating. Solar PV systems play an important role in off-grid electricity generation in remote areas.
