Systems for utilizing low-temperature solar thermal energy include means for heat collection; usually heat storage, either short-term or interseasonal; and distribution within a structure or a district heating network. In some cases a single feature can do more than one of these things (e.g. some kinds of solar collectors also store heat). Some systems are passive, others are active (requiring other external energy to func.

Solar thermal encapsulates any technology that takes sunlight and converts it into heat. That heat can then be used for three primary purposes: to be converted into electricity, to heat water for use in your home or business, or to heat spaces within your house.
The most common type of solar thermal is a flat panel (also known as a collector), usually around 1m x 2m in area. Each panel contains a series of pipes that are either serpentine or grid shaped, with a metal (absorber) plate fixed on top that is coated in a highly absorptive blueish material (selective coating).
Unlike photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight directly into electricity, solar thermal systems convert it into heat. They use mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a receiver, which in turn heats a water reservoir. The heated water can then be used in homes.
Solar thermal panels are similar to solar photovoltaic panels in that both forms of energy are converted from the sun's rays; however, thermal panels convert sunlight into heat for the generation of hot water, whereas, PV panels convert this same energy into electricity.
