Bamboo is probably somewhat higher. Solar panels are somewhere around 20% efficient now I think. Trees are much cheaper to use for collecting solar energy if you have the land area though.<br><b>References : </b><br> Most plants are around 1% efficient at turning sunlight into a useful form of energy it can use.

Its a different concept I think. They actually use the co2 in the air, solar panels collect photons.<br><b>References : </b><br> plants produce glucose as their fuel source from photosynthesis.

Have a nice day!<br><b>References : </b><br> i think they are almost the same because photosynthesis in plants occurs when there is only sunlight as well as the solar panels when there is only light. the good thing maybe in plants is that they were able to use and use the energy they get into valuable ones, not like solar panels, it is only used when needed. that is just my point of view.
