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.

How does solar power use thermal energy?

Solar power does not directly use thermal energy. Solar power is generated through photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity. However, concentrated solar power (CSP) plants use mirrors to concentrate solar energy onto a receiver and generate heat, which is then used to produce electricity through a steam turbine. This process uses thermal energy to generate electricity.

Is solar energy the same as solar thermal?

No. Solar power is not the same as thermal energy. Thermal energy is the random kinetic motion of microscopic molecule. Solar power on the other hand is derived from electromagnetic waves. For example: lets take a plant. If you put a plant in a dark room and heat the plant, the plant will still die even though it is supplied with thermal energy. However if you now add light(of specific wavelengths) the plant will thrive. So the plant can discern the difference between thermal energy and solar energy. Hope that helps
