Solar Thermal — Conversions — Student Energy

Solar thermal generates energy indirectly by harnessing radiant energy from the sun to heat fluid, either to generate heat, or electricity. To produce electricity, steam produced from heating the fluid is used to power generators. 1 This is different from photovoltaic solar panels, which directly convert the sun''s radiation to electricity. 2.

SOLAR THERMAL ENERGY

A solar space heater collects the sun''s energy by a solar collector and directs the energy into a "thermal mass" for storage later when the space is the coldest. A thermal mass can be a masonry wall, floor or any storage drum used specifically to absorb and store the energy. Many systems involve a distribution system and control devices to

Pros & Cons of Solar Thermal Energy | Sciencing

Pro: Renewable. Unlike energy generated from fossil fuels, such as natural gas, petroleum and coal, solar energy is infinitely renewable. This makes the technology more reliable over the long-term, freeing owners from worry about replenishing it. The use of solar energy can make countries more energy-independent by reducing the energy they
