List of featured suppliers of SOLAR PANELS Solar Thermal Hot Water Collectors on Building Products Index
Solar panels and solar thermal hot water collectors are used to harness the power of the sun in order to generate electricity or to heat water. Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity, while solar thermal hot water collectors use the sun's heat to warm up water for a building's hot water supply. These technologies are popular in sustainable building projects as they are renewable, energy-efficient and reduce a building's carbon footprint.
