A solar collector is operated to generate heat. It “collects“ solar radiation and heats up a heat carrier liquid that is transported to a storage tank. This heated water can then be used by the household or business.
Even if solar collectors take copper, glas, wood and insulation material, they generate as much energy as is used for the production of all the components.
You can construct solar collectors simply by yourself! After a few construction steps you’re done and the collector installation is ready for operation. We have had very valuable experiences in summer solar camps where you can learn how it works.
