neutral  Mohamed Abdel-Moneim: In fact, your explanation and referrences DON'T support your answer at all. The asker enquires about سولار not the solar power.

disagree  Linah Ababneh (X): I am afraid that your answer and explanation are in different -- Solar energy is the power of the sun, while "Sohlar" in Arabic equals Diesel

Also, it is worth noting that solar -- as the energy generated by the sun is called "Taqah Shamsiah" rather than "Solar"
