What is PV solar energy? Well, there are two ways in which the Sun’s rays can be turned into energy you can use. You might be asking the question because you are confused between thermal and electrical solar energy.

And both will inevitably gain importance in your life as energy costs and shortages, and global warming, bite deeper.

And, knowing the nature of anything you need to use is a great start to choosing the best at the least cost.

Thermal solar energy is anything, usually air or water, warmed up directly by the sun’s rays. When you soak up some warmth from the sun, sitting inside b ehind a window, that’s you using thermal energy from the sun.

And you just thought you were relaxing there…Well, this is the principle used by solar hot water heaters and passive solar design in buildings and in homes.
