{{Quote|Solar requires us to both exploit and rely on the power of our sun. But to master it is to understand the star's duality.

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]]. Even certain clothing that has a program to it is capable of enhancing the use of Solar.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/starfire-protocol?highlight=solar Starfire Protocol]</ref><ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/burnout?highlight=solar Burnout]</ref> There are places that can refine [[Hammer of Sol|items]] from solar energy.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/hammer-of-sol?highlight=solar Hammer of Sol]</ref><ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/scorch-cannon?highlight=solar Scorch Cannon]</ref> There are even locations that harness energy from the Sun and converts it to Solar Light.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/icarus-languid-sea-mercury?highlight=Solar+energy Icarus, Mercury]</ref> Some Guardians use Solar energy to create cooking fires.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/solar-powered?highlight=Solar+energy Solar Powered]</ref> According to [[Osiris]], Solar requires an understanding of the dual nature of the stars in general and their contribution to the cycle of destruction and creation.<ref name = "Explain"/>

[[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.

*'''Radiant''' - Your weapons are enhanced by the power of the Traveler and deal increased damage to foes. Radiant weapons pierce the shield of {{Icon|Barrier}} Barrier Champions and stuns them.

*'''Ignition''' - A large, damaging Solar explosion in an area around the target and stuns {{Icon|Unstoppable}} Unstoppable Champions.

*'''Firesprite''' - A luminous concentration of Solar energy. When picked up, '''Firesprites''' grants grenade energy.

*'''Ember of Benevolence''': Applying '''restoration''', '''cure''' or '''radiant''' to allies grants increased grenade, [[melee]], and [[class ability]] regeneration for a short duration.

*'''Ember of Torches''': Powered melee attacks against combatants make you and nearby allies '''radiant'''.

*'''Ember of Wonder''': Rapidly defeating multiple targets with Solar '''ignitions''' generates an [[Orb of Light|Orb of Power]]. +10 Resilience.

[[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]]. [[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 abilities of [[Ultra]] combatants.
