The basic scheme of a solar thermal energy installation is as follows: These are two closed circuits with a heat exchanger. In the primary circuit, the cold heat transfer fluid passes through the solar panels. Radiation from the Sun heats it and goes to a heat exchangerto transfer thermal energy to the secondary circuit and then.

No, solar PV systems and solar thermal systems are not the same. PV systems convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells, while thermal systems capture the sun’s heat using a heat-transfer fluid. Both harness solar energy but serve different purposes and use different technologies.
Estimates for global solar thermal potential indicate that it could more than provide for total global electricity needs. There are three primary solar thermal technologies based on three ways of concentrating solar energy: solar parabolic trough plants, solar tower power plants, and solar dish power plants.
Solar thermal power plants benefit from free solar energy for clean electricity production with low operational cost and greenhouse gases emissions. However, the major hurdle for developing these plants is the intermittence of solar energy leading to a mismatch of energy production with the energy demand.
All solar thermal power systems have solar energy collectors with two main components: reflectors (mirrors) that capture and focus sunlight onto a receiver. In most types of systems, a heat-transfer fluid is heated and circulated in the receiver and used to produce steam.
Solar thermal energy consists of the transformation of solar energy into thermal energy. It is a form of renewable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly energy. This way of generating energy can be applied in homes and small installations, and large power plants. There are three main uses of solar thermal systems:
