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 the area, as well as modular, low maintenance technology that is environmentally friendly. Some key benefits include economic savings on domestic hot water costs up to 70%, rapid payback, reduced CO2 emissions, and an inexhaustible energy source compatible with other supplies that generates heat directly at the point of consumption. Applications include hot water heating, industrial uses, space heating, pool heating, drying, and cooling for homes, hotels, hospitals and other facilities.
