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.
Energy goes back to space from the Earth system in two ways: reflection and emission. Part of the solar energy that comes to Earth is reflected back out to space in the same, short wavelengths in which it came to Earth. The fraction of solar energy that is reflected back to space is called the albedo.he temperature of the sun's radiating surface, or photosphere, is more than 5500Â°C (9900Â°F). However, not all of the sun's energy comes to Earth. The sun's energy is emitted in all directions, with only a small fraction being in the direction of the Earth.
