Solar thermal heating is a technology that harnesses the sun''s energy to produce heat. This heat can then be used in various applications, from heating water and buildings to generating electricity. The principal components of a solar thermal system include the solar collector, heat transfer fluid, heat storage unit, and heat exchanger.
Solar thermal encapsulates any technology that takes sunlight and converts it into heat. That heat can then be used for three primary purposes: to be converted into electricity, to heat water for use in your home or business, or to heat spaces within your house.
Solar thermal energy involves capturing and using the sun''s heat. Different photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight directly into electricity using solar cells, solar thermal systems focus on heating a fluid that can be used for heating purposes or converted into mechanical energy to generate electricity.
Although the fundamentals of solar thermal technology are reasonably simple, designing a system that effectively absorbs solar energy and converts it to hot water requires cutting-edge technology. The first stage in this process, which converts solar energy into a usable resource, is the installation of solar panels.
