What type of device is used to collect solar energy for heating water and houses?

Solar panels and heaters are used. They trap sun's energy.


An energy source that will never run out?

There are no energy sources that will never run out, but the sun will last a good long time, so any energy derived from solar will last a good long time. This includes direct solar, such as roof mounted water tanks, conversion of solar to electric by solar cells, bio-solar (grow things which convert to energy), wind, water, earth thermal, and similar.

Why does a solar panel have a network of water pipes?

Solar panels are divided into two main types depending on the energy they gain - electrical and heat. Obviously this one is gaining heat energy and that is why it has pipes connected to it.
