Solar energy is renewable and unlimited. Using modern solar panels, will produce about 0.75 kilowatt-hours per square yard per day. So, one panel would produce around 273 kilowatt hours per year. One panel. These panels require little maintenance once installed and will last 7 to 15 years before they need replacement. Most states have tax incentive policies in place that help to reduce the cost of installations, and solar panels may be tax exempt when calculating the value of your home for property tax. However, they will raise the re-sale value of your home.

The sun shines brightly in the sky.
White reflects the heat and light off the sun using a method known as radiation. Black absorbs the heat from the sun using the same method.
Our sun, Sol, uses hydrogen for fuel.
Scientists estimate the central temperature of the Sun using models that consider the balance between the Sun's gravitational contraction and nuclear fusion processes happening in its core. They use this information, along with measurements of the Sun's energy output and properties, to calculate a central temperature in the range of about 15 million degrees Celsius.
Time based on the sun is called solar time. It is measured using the position of the sun in the sky.
