Solar thermal energy is a technology that utilises solar energy to generate heat for your building. With solar collectors on the roof, sunlight is captured and converted into heat - ideal for supporting heating and hot water preparation. Solar thermal systems can help to reduce energy costs and are completely environmentally friendly as they rely exclusively on the renewable energy of the sun. Here you can find out how solar thermal energy works, what benefits it offers and how it can be integrated into your heating system.
