Question

What is the difference between active solar energy and passive solar energy? What are they?

Answer: Active solar energy takes sunlight and passive solar energy takes heat from the sun as it comes through your windows, roof, and walls to heat different things in your house.

Hope this helps. :)

Active solar energy is solar panels or other mechanical energy systems from the sun, while passive are things like the sun heating your house from south facing windows (greenhouse affect).
