Solar Thermal Technology

Solar thermal technology captures sunlight to generate heat, which can be used for heating water, space heating, or industrial processes. It typically involves solar collectors, like flat plates or tubes, that absorb sunlight and convert it into heat. This heat is then transferred to a fluid—such as water or antifreeze—that circulates through the system. The heated fluid can directly provide hot water or be used to produce steam for electricity generation. Solar thermal systems are an efficient way to harness renewable energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
