Solar energy is energy obtained from the sun. Solar energy could be obtained from solar panels.

So here in El Paso it would be easy if the entire city was powered by solar panels. Solar energy is also very efficient. The panels can be charged during the day and when there is no sun, the previous day's energy is already stored. “You can use home solar panels as a partial or full source of electricity for your home. These residential solar panels can be connected to the electrical grid, or you can produce all the energy you need and live “off the grid.” Grid-tied solar systems can even resell unused electricity to a power company.” As said by a (Solar Panel company worker in solarenergy.com) Another advantage of solar energy is that it is easy to switch from electricity to solar energy or from solar energy to electricity. For example, if there is no sun for a couple of days you need to go back to electricity, just turn off the solar panels and connect the electricity. If that takes too long, they sell switches to switch back from solar to electricity. It's as simple as flipping a switch. Another reason why El Paso should have solar panels is because modern gadgets are powered by solar panels. Most people have technology powered by solar panels.

So it's not entirely positive but not entirely negative either.
