| Solar Thermal Solar thermal energy is a technology for harnessing solar power for practical applications from solar heating to electrical power generation to. Solar thermal collectors, such as solar hot water panels are commonly used to generate solar hot water for domestic and light industrial applications. Solar thermal energy is used in architecture and building design to control heating and ventilation in both active solar and passive solar designs.
Solar thermal heating is applied to water, air or structural materials. Conversion of light to heat can be achieved through passive systems or active systems (mechanically transferring heat by means of a working fluid such as oil, water or air).
