Answer 2

The right option is; The amount of sunlight varies with location, date, and time.

Solar energy is the energy that is obtained from the sun’s radiation. Solar energy is captured from the sun by the installation of solar panels, and can be used to produce electricity. The solar panel relies on sunlight (weather) to effectively obtain solar energy. Solar energy is best gathered during a sunny day, and in sunny areas such as Australia. When solar energy is obtained during cloudy and rainy days, its efficiency is reduced. Also, during the night, solar energy cannot be obtained. Solar energy does not produce emissions when it is used.
