I am doing a project and I need to know what amount of the Earth’s heat is from the sun and what amount is from the core. How much heat do each account for?

I need to know how much of the world’s energy is produced by solar energy, then geothermal energy, then wind energy. I can’t seem to find it anywhere…only how much energy it COULD produce.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I have posted similar question before about solar power and asking why the usa hasn’t done worth spit in geting more solar power.
A 100 sqr ft of solar panel durring full sun makes roughly 1kw.
Solar powered water heaters are an excellent alternative to standard water heaters.
Cost wise some states are helping with paying some of the cost and tax rebates from fed government side help some. Plus some states give grantes to home owners and possibly companies.
I have done research, I am writing a book (not directly on solar power, but has info about solar power and other alternatives for power mentioned in it) and I am still researching, asking questions, talking to people to make informed writing in my book as well as what I am putting up here.
There is also geothermal for heating and cooling which is much better than a nuclear plant or a coal plant for such. Solar power is effective (mostly).
What do you think is the biggest cause of usa not being more solar powered?

maybe both. Keep in mind, geothermal just provides some heat. And you have to use electricity to get that heat. A solar system provides electricity that you can use to run a light bulb, and other stuff. And run your geothermal system.
geothermal is good because it’s passive. There isn’t much that can go wrong with it. solar has more technology, that you may have to repair.
on the other side, you’ll need to figure out your underground temperature. It’s not going to help a lot if it’s relatively cool under your house.

That would be geothermal…hence the meaning of the word GEO-the earth, THERMAL-temperature. If the sunlight was in direct contact with the exchange unit it would be solar energy, but it relies on the earth’s warming and cooling features.
Hope that does it for you.

1. solar heating available everywhere the sun’s rays fall, but geothermal is only optimum in some places
2. equipment and expertise required for solar heating is realtively simpler in comparison with geothermal heating
3. system of pipes (and water used) is less in solar heating (because the panels are smaller and sompact) but the pipes used in geothermal have to be built specially to not only withstand pressures underground, but also be conducting enough to absorb the heat.
you can find further details in geophysical explanations for geo thermal and promotions of solar heating

We are building a home in the midwest and considering geothermal as a way to heat and cool the building. Geothermal requires some electricity. Solar panels could be the source of that electricity, but I haven’t been able to find information of where that has been used or how it’s done.
