    energy is a quantity of work where power is work per time so energy is the entire amount and power is how much of that total is used over a period of time. so yest they are closely related and many people will use the terms interchangeably, but no they are not the same thing.

    Yes and no.

    No: Adding to what captain crunch said, solar energy is the energy that is available to harness. Solar power is the work per unit time done with the harnessed solar energy.

    Yes: The two terms are commonly used to describe the same thing even though it might not be technically correct.
