Solar flares were bursts of energy given off by active stars at periodic or random intervals. Solar flares contained gamma radiation which could be used as a power source and could devastate entire planets.
Historical significance
The greatest solar flare for a thousand years hit the Earth in 1930 and, attracted by dalekanium, struck the Empire State Building in the form of a lightning strike and was used by the Cult of Skaro to create human-Daleks. Martha Jones and Laszlo were also able to channel its energy to kill the pig slaves. (TV: Evolution of the Daleks)
Earth was saved from a solar flare in the early 21st century by a global forest which grew in a day. (TV: In the Forest of the Night)
The Ghosties were forced to leave their home planet when it became threatened by solar flares. They created a fleet of spaceships, one of which landed in Cardiff in the 21st century. (AUDIO: Asylum)
On 21 November 2059, a solar flare caused Bowie Base One on Mars to lose contact with Mission Control on Earth for over ten hours during which time The Flood infected the base. (TV: The Waters of Mars)
The Seventh Doctor once tricked Sutekh into thinking he'd destroyed Earth by drawing him into the 29th century, a time where the planet had already been devastated by solar flares.

The rest of the humans were evacuated to Thermic shelters but were apparently not expected to survive through the entire period. (TV: The Ark in Space)
In 200,100, the Controller of the Game Station exploited a cycle of solar flares, which occurred every eleven years, to warn the Ninth Doctor and his allies about her "masters", the Daleks. During this time, the Daleks could not monitor her. (TV: Bad Wolf)
By 500,002 Earth had again been deserted due to solar flare activity. (AUDIO: The Girl Who Never Was)
Circa 2,000,000 AD, the Time Lords transported the entire solar system using a magnetron, devastating Earth. Less-informed people attributed the devastation to solar flares. (TV: The Mysterious Planet)
