What is an active solar collector?
A solar collector that has motors and a guiding system to point towards the Sun which improves efficiency. A passive collector has no such systems.
How does a passive solar system collect energy?
renewable energy
What converts sunlight into thermal energy without pumps or fans?
Sunlight is thermal energy. Passive solar system, passive solar design, passive solar window....you get the idea :-)
What is passive solar system?
There is no such thing as a "passive" solar system.
What is an passive solar system?
There is no such thing as a "passive" solar system.
What is passive solar energy?
Passive Solar energy is energy that unlike Solar energy passive is not active it is used by which way your house is set up and it can be put a certain way to absorb the most of passive sun power
What is energy collected by in a passive solar system?
your mom. stop cheating on the hall mark charter final.
How is passive and active solar heating systems different from one another?
a passive solar system converts sunlight into thermal energy without using pumps or fans and active solar system captures the suns energy then uses fans and pumps to distribute the heat

What is the difference between passive solar energy systems and active solar energy systems?
The difference between a passive solar energy system and and active solar energy system is how the energy is collected and distributed. In a passive solar energy system, the building itself is designed as a collector and the heat is distributed by natural means. In an active solar energy system, special collectors, storage tanks, and mechanical and electrical equipment (pumps and fans) are used to transport and distribute the heat energy. Passive systems - convert sunlight into electricity, which is used to heat a hot-water tank. Active systems have tubes behind them filled with water from the household supply. The direct energy from the sun heats the water in the tubes. Passive solar usually has no moving parts and the sun's energy is stored directly in whatever the sun is hitting such as a large mass or a room. Active solar heating will usually involve the use of pumps to pump a fluid to solar collectors and then back to a distribution point where the solar energy collected is transferred to another heating system, such as a forced hot air system. Active solar is much more complicated. Passive solar heating has no moving parts, but utilizes windows and the sun. The position of the house is very important. Active solar heating uses solar panels to produce electricity for heating, or pumps to move water warmed by the sun.
What collects the sun's energy?
Solar Panels!
Where do passive solar heating systems and active solar heating systems get their solar energy?
they get their energy from the sun
