Solar thermal energy
The main element of a solar thermal system is the collector which is exposed to sunlight. The collector, in turn, consists of an absorber whose function is to absorb the solar radiation and transform it into heat.
The heat captured by the absorber is then transferred to a tank containing water. The collected and heated water is then employed as sanitary hot water or is used for the low-temperature heating system. This type of system can be implemented wherever there is a considerable consumption of hot water: homes, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, public offices, sports facilities, and pools.
