Best Practice Guide GlossaryBrowse the glossary alphabetically: SOLAR HEATING AND HOT WATER SYSTEMS Return to list of termsSolar heating or hot water systems provide two basic functions: (a) capturing the sun's radiant energy, converting it into heat energy, and storing this heat in insulated storage tank(s); and (b) delivering the stored energy as needed to either the domestic hot water or heating system. These components are called the collection and delivery subsystems. Source: California Energy Commission |
