Solar Thermal
Solar thermal technologies harness the energy of the sun to provide energy for water heating, space heating and cooling, and pool heating, and are an integral part of a clean energy future. Solar thermal systems are composed of three main elements: solar collectors, insulated heat transport piping, and heat storage. Some systems also employ the use of electronic controls, and in colder climates, a freeze protection strategy.
