READ MOREThe first solar district heating system in Latvia started in Salaspils in 2019 (see Fig. 2 ). The project backed by EU, developed by LTD Filter, the Baltic energy solution specialist, and Arcon-Sunmark, the Danish solar heating specialist. The solar collector field covers more than 21,672 m 2 (12.8 MW) and consists of 1720 solar collectors.
READ MORESolar 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.
