Analysis of solar energy for project work[edit]

Solar energy 117.206.251.165 (talk) 08:48, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Duplication with solar power[edit]

Currently, solar power as a higher quality article is both redundant and losing viewership, as "solar energy" is a more popular term than "solar power". This article should talk about energy from the Sun in general, not just about it as electricity. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 17:02, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea - I suggest you go ahead. Also maybe the photovoltaics section should be removed. Chidgk1 (talk) 17:39, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@CactiStaccingCrane December views show this continues. I tried removing photovoltaics from here - don’t know if that will make a difference Chidgk1 (talk) 09:27, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Moved a para from lead to Solar_power#Cost_per_watt Chidgk1 (talk) 09:34, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe floating solar and solar aircraft should be moved elsewhere? If so where? Chidgk1 (talk) 09:40, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sunlight للطاقة المتجددة[edit]

More information for the solar energy systems in Egypt.

The main difference between poly crystalline panels and mono crystalline panels? Ans: the main difference is the panel efficiency, mono crystalline efficiency have reached 23%.

Sunlight solar energy is Sol agent for Quantum Solar and the importer for Ja solar in Egypt for more than 5 years صن لايت للطاقة المتجددة الوكيل الحصرة لشركة Quantum Solar و مستورد معتمد لشركة JA solar فى مصر لاكثر من 5 سنوات. 2C0F:FC89:108:BB5F:4C48:29D5:7416:EEB7 (talk) 14:41, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Energy in Egypt or Talk:Solar panel might be a better place for you to suggest changes but please first read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest Chidgk1 (talk) 19:54, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Solar entry[edit]

Solar energy is infinite so it never runs out 2600:4040:5FD6:1300:7994:3979:8A29:FA89 (talk) 19:28, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
