Solar thermal energy converts radiant solar energy into heat or thermal energy through the use of solar collectors. It provides significant energy savings between 30-70% depending on location, is modular to meet different needs, has very low maintenance costs, and offers reduced payback times. Solar thermal energy has economic advantages through energy cost savings up to 70% and rapid payback. It also has environmental benefits as it is a renewable and clean energy source that reduces CO2 emissions and helps fulfill international climate agreements. The generated heat can be used for hot water, industrial processes, space heating, pool heating, drying, and cooling applications in homes, hotels, hospitals and other buildings.
