What is solar thermal energy? Applications and uses

Solar thermal energy is used to produce domestic hot water that accumulates in water tanks in low- temperature facilities. In thermoelectric plants, solar radiation is concentrated to generate steam with thermal energy. The steam drives turbines and generates electricity. On the other hand, photovoltaic solar panels only generate

SOLAR THERMAL ENERGY

Solar power is the flow of energy from the sun. The primary forms of solar energy are heat and light. Sunlight and heat are transformed and absorbed by the environment in a multitude of ways. Some of these transformations result in renewable energy flows such as biomass, wind and waves. Effects such as the jet stream, the Gulf Stream and the
