Active Solar Heating is a system that uses energy from sunlight to heat a structure and/or provide hot water. This system relies on pumps or fans to move the energy-transporting medium through the system, distinguishing it from passive solar heating.
Passive Solar Heating is a system of features incorporated into a building’s design to use and maximize the effects of the sun’s natural heating capability.
Photovoltaic refers to the process of converting light directly into electricity using specially designed silicon cells. This term is commonly associated with solar energy systems that harness solar power to generate electricity.
Solar Heating technologies capture solar energy to provide hot water for residential, commercial, and industrial use through both active and passive systems, leading to energy savings and reduced environmental impact.
