Firstly, I just want to mention that I am well aware that 'Free Energy' is only a concept and that no actual device known to man is capable of producing or harnessing free energy. My critical thinking faculties are in fine order, and I am well aware of James Randi - so please, no "free energy doesn't exist retard" answers. I am only interested in the concept of free energy, not in debating whether or not it exists.
Now, to my question: Why isn't solar energy (when absorbed by solar panels) considered to be 'free energy'?
Every proposal for a free energy device I've seen seems to involve some kind of equipment (often equipment that is quite expensive and cumbersome for something that doesn't even work), so I just don't see much of a difference between these types of technology and solar panels - except that solar panels actually work. So what is it exactly that makes something Free Energy?
