Solar thermal energy offers inexhaustible benefits

Direct use of solar thermal energy is more efficient than converting electricity into heat.  In heating the same amount of domestic hot water, 64 sq ft of solar thermal collectors generate energy equivalent to that generated by 400 sq ft of photovoltaic cells.

Additional key benefits of solar thermal technology include:
  • An inexhaustible and immediately available source of energy
  • Reduced dependency on fossil fuels
  • Curbed urban air pollution
  • Limited carbon dioxide emissions
  • Environmental leadership and stewardship
