Is solar energy renewable or nonrenewable? The use of other energy sources, such as fossil fuels, is problematic because they're nonrenewable. The sun, however, is the largest of all renewable energy sources, not a surprise perhaps, but the amount of power it generates is. Once they're gone, they're gone forever.
