Correct answer: "Energy from the sun might be greater than the energy needs of the house, so some energy will be stored and/or wasted."

Explanation: Solar output varies and can exceed household demand, in which case excess is either stored (batteries) or curtailed/exported. Energy is conserved (not destroyed), so the other options are incorrect.
