Created from Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsAdmpq8zTUvideoConcepts covered:Solar thermal energy, Photovoltaics, Heat collectors, Cost-effective, Energy generation
Solar thermal energy converts sunlight into thermal energy using heat collectors, unlike photovoltaics which directly convert sunlight into electricity. Solar thermal systems can store heat for later use and are cost-effective compared to PV systems, which pay for themselves quicker but are more efficient in generating electricity.
