Solar thermal energy | Simply explained | Photovoltaics vs Solar thermal systems

Solar thermal energy is one of the renewable energies, but often plays a rather subordinate role in the current discussions about the energy transition. In this video you will learn how solar thermal systems work and are constructed and how solar thermal differs from photovoltaics. The creation of the videos costs a lot of time and for some projects also money. If you want to support the channel financially, you can become a Patreon member here.
