Development of the renewable energy market is, to a large extent, based on that fact. Most of the green technologies currently operating harvest solar energy, directly or indirectly. Among indirect solar energy sources, wind, low grade geothermal (used in ground source heat pump systems), tidal and wave are either being largely employed and (wind) well established (low grade geothermal) or under development (tidal and wave).

Direct solar energy source consist of solar rays reaching the atmosphere. They can be collected by two different technologies: solar photovoltaics (also known as solar PV) and solar thermal systems. If you're interested in solar systems, we offer you a free of charge, easy to use and personalized service that will allow you to receive quotes from different solar energy suppliers. You just have to fill in the form on the right. Let’s see how they work and what are the differences between them.

DIFFERENE BETWEEN SOLAR PANEL AND SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANT

Solar panel: A large number of solar cells connected to each other in an arrangement is called "Solar Panel".
* Silicon is used for making Solar cells.
* Silver is used for better connection between cells.

Solar thermal power plant: It is electricity generating plants that can be utilize the energy from the Sun to heat a fluid to a high temperature. This fluid then transfers its heat to water, which then becomes super heated steam.
