Solar Thermal Application Classification Quiz

The traditional classifications of renewables mentioned are indirect and direct solar thermal, solar PV, wind, hydro, biomass, high temp. thermo bio, and chemical.

Some uses of solar energy listed are heaters, green houses, cars, water pumps, lights, desalination, satellites, chilling, dryers, solar ponds, calculators, and commercial use.

A solar collector is a device designed to absorb incident solar radiation, transform it into heat, transfer that heat energy to a medium passing in contact with it (water, solar fluid, or air), and then the solar heat can be used for various purposes such as heating water or swimming pools.
