Welcome to The Energy Planet's solar quiz. We wish you good luck in picking the right answer out of the four given ones. Have Fun.

01: Why is solar power not effective yet?
Solar power is not efficient because the reaction that it needs to create energy is very unreliable. The energy source must be reliable.
Solar power is not effective yet because it is very expensive, and is unreliable. At night and during cloudy days, the plant cannot generate electricity.
The materials for Solar cells are very rare, and it is a long, difficult process to make cells. Enough solar cells simply cannot be created.
Solar power creates harmful byproducts that need to be disposed of. This makes it very expensive to generate electricity by means of Solar cells.
02: Where could we put a solar panel or parabola where it would be exposed to sunlight 24 hours a day, all the time, and never be clouded over?
If we put one on a mountain top, it would not be clouded over.
We could put a solar cell under the ocean, then, clouds would not affect it.
There is no place that a solar panel could be exposed to sunlight 24 hours a day.
If we put a solar panel or a parabola in outer space, it would be exposed to sunlight all the time, and would be very efficient, but we need to develop a way to get the energy form the solar cell in space to earth.
03: What color absorbs sunlight best? Which color reflects sunlight?
Neither reflect or absorb sunlight.
Black absorbs sunlight, while white reflects sunlight.
White absorbs sunlight, black reflects sunlight.
Yellow both absorbs and reflects sunlight.
