By far the most common solar energy technology, photovoltaics are an “additive” energy source that can be used on a single home’s rooftop or in a large farm producing thousands of megawatts of electricity—enough to power a midsize city. Instead of turning sunlight directly into electricity, concentrating solar turns it into heat.
Solar energy can also improve air quality, reduce water use from energy production, and provide ecosystem services for host communities through carbon sequestration, pollination, and ground and stormwater management.
This action is not available. Solar energy refers to heat or light energy from the sun. Solar energy is by far the most plentiful type of renewable energy, delivered to the surface of the Earth at a rate of 120,000 Terawatts (TW) per hour, compared to the global human use of 19.8 TW in the entire year of 2019.
Much of the energy assimilated by plants through photosynthesis is not stored as organic material but instead is used during cellular respiration. In this process organic compounds such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are broken down, or oxidized, to provide energy (in the form of adenosine triphosphate [ATP]) for the cell’s metabolic needs.
Like wind energy, expansions on solar energy can create jobs and boost economies. Also like wind, sunlight is intermittent and storage of solar energy is limited by battery capacity. Some locations do not receive consistently direct sunlight and are ill-suited for solar panels.
