How does solar thermal energy work? Types of systems

In solar thermal power plants, solar radiation is concentrated at one point to produce steam. The steam drives a steam turbine that converts the energy to mechanical energy to drive an electric generator. The thermodynamic performance is low, but the price of fuel is zero. How is solar thermal energy obtained? Types of solar collectors. A solar ...

Active Solar Heating

Active solar heating systems use solar energy to heat a fluid -- either liquid or air -- and then transfer the solar heat directly to the interior space or to a storage system for later use. If the solar system cannot provide adequate space heating, an auxiliary or back-up system provides the additional heat.
