Solar hot water in Green Bay

Solar panels for hot water boiler + gas + underfloor heating in Green Bay, Wisconsin

They are called solar plates to the plates used to harness solar energy, although it should be remembered that there are many different types of solar panels. The fundamental difference is aprovachar when used for heat or used to generate electricity. In the former case is more accurate to describe the solar collectors, while in the second case, the most correct name is the solar modules.

The words are synonymous plates and panels.

The solar collectors are crossed by a hydraulic circuit, the fluid inside the collector receives the heat, which is perfectly isolated, and the liquid passes through the pipe, which is also isolated, until the accumulator, a water tank also isolated like a thermos. This is where the heat is transmitted to the hydraulic circuit of drinking water or heating circuit.

The other type of solar panels, photovoltaic modules, operating with a totally different technology, because its function is to generate electricity. They consist of a mineral semiconductor, usually silicon. Semiconductors have the property that produce electricity easily. The photons of light-particle-containing energy. The photons excite the atoms of silicon, and electrons begin to move. This movement is called electricity.
