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
How many gallons of water does a hot water heating system use?
It uses as many as you run through it, but who would want to heat hot water?
What is the difference between a hot-water heating system and a warm-air heating system?
A hot water heating system (hydronic) uses heated water to circulate from a boiler to baseboard radiators or convectors, where the heat is wanted. This is done through a series of piping and pump(s) that move the heated water around. Warm air systems use a furnace to heat air and a fan to move the warm air through ducts to the point of use.
What are the future uses of solar energy?

Future uses for solar energy?
There are so many potential uses for solar power in the future. Let's get started with solar power from outer space. This idea may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but it's the real deal. A satellite in high orbit (where the sun is always shining) would use microwave transmission to beam solar power to receiving stations on Earth. Welcome to the future!
What are the advantages of using solar hot water systems?
A solar hot water system uses solar panels to heat the water. Some advantages of using a solar hot water system is it uses renewable energy, and it lowers heating costs.
What is a solar hot water heating system?
A solar hot water heating system is a method of supplementing the heating of hot water. The system uses either flat plate collectors or evacuated tube collector to harness the radiation from the sun to heat a fluid circulating through the collectors and subsequently an additional low level coil in a hot water storage vessel. This form of heating hot water must be supplemented by an additional heat source to ensure the hot water temperature is raised sufficiently to reduce the risk of bacterial growth within the hot water storage vessel. In the UK, solar hot water heating can provide on avaerage around 50-60% of the total hot water heating requirement when averaged over the course of a year.

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 technology uses solar collectors to gather energy from the sun?
This is called a solar panel or a solar photo-voltaic module
What is solar thermal power?
It is called Solar thermal. Solar power can refer to the other type of solar energy which produces electricity. A solar thermal system is uses the suns heat to heat water in a storage vessel. Normally solar thermal is used to heat domestic hot water, but if a larger system is fitted it can contribute a small amount to other heating requirements such as underfloor heating. Also solar thermal is very good for heating swimming pools.

What are uses 4 solar power?
Solar power can be used for providing Electricity and heating and for hot water in the house
What are the uses of solar power?
Some uses of solar power are for home heating and cooling, and to control the temperature of water in pools. It is also used for cooking and to charge batteries.
What system uses heat from the sun?
Solar
How is the heating system radiator and conduction related?
A type of heating system uses a radiator in which thermal energy is transferred by conduction
What system uses radiators to transfer thermal energy?
A radiator heating system.
