Solar Thermal Energy helps convert energy from the sun's raise. By using solar panels, raise from the sun is collected and used as energyto heat water in homes, power cars and power all house hold appiances.

Solar Thermal Panels come in many sizes and built, depending on where they'll be put. Some are ment for rooves of buildings while others are made to look like windows for the maore taller buildings. Many are put on stilts to be put in yards or lagre flat fields with many more panels to collect even more energy.
Solar thermal panels are built with a black coat absorber plate that actracts and collects heat. The heat exchanger, which is connected to the absorber plate, takes the heat and moves it to a storage tank where it is kept until it is changed into eletricity that it used to power all home appliances. The glazing over the absorber plates and the heat exchangers protects them from the elements.
What eletricity that is collect and not used is sold to the eletric company. Having solar thermal panels can either cut your eletric bill in half or more, or you could end up not paying to eletric bill entirely.
