Definitions

solar heating (active)

Heat is generated by photovoltaic cells on the site.

An active solar heating uses photovoltaic panels to capture solar radiation and convert it into heat energy to keep the interior of a building warm. It is distinguished from passive solar heating, which uses no special panels but simply absorbs and retains sufficient solar radiation through its windows.
