Solar energy is a gift from the sun, but one that has been vastly underutilized by human society. Solar thermal devices use direct heat from the sun, concentrating it in some manner to produce heat at useful temperatures. Currently, solar thermal devices are used for a variety of purposes ranging from heating swimming pools to creating steam for generating electricity.

The traditional chulha, which is used in Indian villages, is an inefficient way of using energy. Ninety per cent of the energy in the fuel is lost into the atmosphere; only ten per cent of the energy goes to actually heat the pot |

How does it work?
Solar thermal energy generation converts the thermal energy of the sun into a usable form. The sun's rays hit the solar thermal collector, which captures the thermal energy of the sun, and transfers the heat to a fluid. This fluid transports the heat to a storage tank from where it is used for applications like domestic hot water or industrial heating processes.
As domestic hot water heaters, swimming pools and space heating systems use a great deal of energy, solar thermal energy generation is a great way to offset this demand. It is a perfect solution to substantially reduce energy bills and the dependency on imported energy.
