Solar energy is related to combustion, heat and nuclear fusion, and can be wielded by [[Guardian]]s to generate flames and other heat-related phenomena. Healing power is also associated with Solar Energy. Solar energy can be integrated into vehicles, from small [[Sparrow|sparrow]]s to the mighty war machines of the [[Cabal]].

==Gameplay==
===Guardians===
Guardians employ Solar powers for two main aspects: burning and healing. The abilities of their Solar subclasses reflect these.

====Subclasses====

[[Sunbreaker]]s are a mercenary order of [[Titan (class)|Titans]] that are exceptionally skilled at wielding Solar Light, manifesting it as the weapon known as the [[Hammer of Sol]]. In [[Destiny 2]], they can also create a [[Burning Maul]] in order to deal close-range damage.

[[Gunslinger]] [[Hunter (class)|Hunters]] use Solar Light to draw out a flaming pistol known as [[Golden Gun]]. In Destiny 2, they gain the ability to instead unleash a volley of Solar-charged knives as a [[Blade Barrage]].

[[Sunsinger]] [[Warlock]]s buff themselves using Solar Light to rapidly increase their grenade recharge rate and to gain other various benefits, including reviving themselves instantly.

[[Dawnblade]] Warlocks replaced Sunsingers in ''Destiny 2'' and use Solar Light to create a sword that can either be used to produce damage dealing [[Daybreak|Projectiles]], or planted in the ground for the empowering [[Well of Radiance]]. In [[The Final Shape]], warlocks can harness [[Song of Flame]], which is a callback to D1 Radiance, but with no self resurrection, your grenade becomes sentient and seeks enemies, your melee shoots more projectiles, and nearby allies gain Scorch on their solar weapons.

====Verbs====

Common effects of Solar subclasses, as defined in the Light 3.0 update, are:<ref>https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/51380</ref>

*'''Cure''' -  You are healed in a burst of mending Solar Light.
*'''Restoration''' - You continuously regenerate health and shields over time. Cannot be interrupted by taking damage.
**Restoration can be stacked twice, increasing the regeneration speed. 
*'''Radiant''' - Your weapons are enhanced by the power of the Traveler and deal increased damage to foes. While you are '''radiant''', your weapons pierce the shield of {{Icon|Barrier}} Barrier Champions and stuns them.
*'''Firesprite''' - A luminous concentration of Solar energy. When picked up, '''Firesprites''' grants grenade energy.
*'''Scorch''' - The target is singed by destructive Solar Light, taking damage over time. Scorch damage increases as the target accumulate more Scorch stacks. After 100 Scorch stacks are applied to the target, they '''ignite'''.
**Different effects inflict different amounts of scorch stacks.
*'''Ignition''' - A large Solar explosion which deals damage in an area around the target and stuns {{Icon|Unstoppable}} Unstoppable Champions.

====[[Grenade]]s====
As of the Solar 3.0 update, all grenades are accessible to all classes

*'''[[Solar Grenade]]''': A grenade that creates a flare of Solar Light which continually damages and '''scorches''' targets trapped inside.
*'''[[Firebolt Grenade]]''': A grenade that unleashes bolts of damaging Solar Light at nearby targets and slightly '''scorches''' them.
*'''[[Fusion Grenade]]''': An explosive grenade that attaches to its targets, damaging and moderately '''scorching''' them on detonation.
*'''[[Incendiary Grenade]]''': A grenade that explodes in a fiery burst and heavily '''scorches''' nearby targets.
*'''[[Thermite Grenade]]''': A grenade that sends forth a line of fire, dealing damage and '''scorching''' targets in its path.
*'''[[Swarm Grenade]]''': A grenade that detonates on impact, releasing multiple drones that seek nearby enemies. Each drone slightly '''scorches''' affected targets. 
*'''[[Tripmine Grenade]]''': An explosive grenade that sticks to surfaces and detonates when enemies pass through its laser trigger, dealing damage and moderately '''scorching''' them.
*'''[[Healing Grenade]]''': A grenade that '''cures''' allies on impact and creates an Orb of benevolent Solar Light, granting '''restoration''' to allies when picked up.

===Enemies===
[[Cabal]] and [[Devil Splicers]] are the main users of Solar weapons, with light, heavy and melee weapons found across all their ranks, especially in ''Destiny 1''. Low ranking [[Vex]] use Solar ranged weapons, while Solar melee mostly comes from [[Scorn]]. Low ranking [[The Dread|Dread]] wield Solar melee or ranged weapons, an element shared with a few of their common abilities. [[Fallen]] and Scorn heavier weaponry is commonly Solar powered. A few [[Taken]] have Solar melee attacks, with only [[Wire Rifle]]s and [[Torch Hammer]]s as ranged weapons, and [[Taken Knight]]s and [[Taken Wizard]]s can use Solar abilities. The [[Hive]] only gained Solar attacks in ''Destiny 2'', with the [[Splinter]] crossbow and the [[Acolyte Grenade]]. Solar Burn effects are also common environmental hazards, as well as as additional effects added to the attacks of [[Ultra]] combatants.

Solar [[Absorption Shield]]s are employed by Cabal [[Centurion]]s, Hive [[Wizard]]s, [[Taken Captain]]s, and Scorn [[Chieftain]]s, and added to [[Shank]]s and [[Taken Knight]]s in higher difficulty activities, such as Legend [[Nightfall]]s. The end of a [[Nightmare Hunt]] features enemies of the [[Nightmare]]'s faction equipped with Solar shields.
