Energy production

• Solar thermal panels: The most well-known form of solar panels is photovoltaic energy, which is the conversion of light energy into electricity. However, the most cost-effective use of solar energy with existing technologies is to directly capture the heat from solar radiation using panels and use this heat to heat air or water. 
• Solar water heater: A solar water heater will therefore heat water. The water is heated in a tank and can then be used to heat domestic hot water, to heat the house via heated floors or radiators, or both.
• Solar air heater: A solar air heater allows either to distribute the heat captured via ventilation ducts or to blow it directly into the room where it is located.
