Â· just now. 1  Solar energy comes from the rays of the sun,that is collected on glass panels which converts into solar energy. 2  Solar power is the most abundant form of energy on earth. 3  This Site Might Help You. 4  Solar energy comes directly from the sun. The word 'solar' is quite an explicit hint about the nature of the energy. solar panels use energy from the sun to transform the electromagnetic radiation into usable electrical energy. The link below provides a decent explanation, if you it isn't to advance.
Solar energy is energy which is created from sunlight, or heat from the sun. Solar power is captured when energy from the sun is converted into electricity or used to heat air, water, or other fluids.There are currently two main types of solar energy technologies:1  solar thermal: these systems convert sunlight into thermal energy (heat). 2  Most solar thermal systems use solar energy for space heating or to heat water (such as in a solar hot water system). Most solar thermal systems use solar energy for space heating or to heat water (such as in a solar hot water system). 2  However this heat energy can be used to drive a refrigeration cycle to provide for solar based cooling.
