in percentage, how much energy of the sun do we humans use

1 answer

Humans directly use only a minuscule amount of the total energy that is emitted by the Sun. Currently, solar energy accounts for less than 1% of the global energy consumption. This includes energy captured through solar panels for electricity generation, solar thermal systems for heating water or space, and other solar-powered technologies. It is important to note that this calculation does not account for indirect forms of solar energy that are utilized, such as wind power or hydroelectricity, which are also driven by the Sun.
