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.
The size of the sun determines its temperature and the amount of energy radiated. Electromagnetic energy from the sun comes to Earth in the form of radiation. The term radiation simply denotes the fact that the energy travels as rays, that is, in straight lines. In general, the terms solar energy and solar radiation simply refer to energy from the sun. Electromagnetic energy is produced when electric charges change their potential energy. It is characterized by the property that it is pure energy, not requiring any matter (or medium) for its existence or movement.
