Best Answer

Painted black pipes sandwiched between two layers of glass, have water inside them that is heated thanks to the rays of the sun. Since the color "black" absorbs most sunlight, it's easy to see how black pipes absorb the sunlight and heats the water.

What are the limitations of solar energy?

The Sun isn't always out so during night time solar panels wont make electricity, and they make less when it is dull. This means they are less economic in cooler countries. Dust , and other debris can cover the solar panel reducing its efficiency, meaning they have to be cleaned regularly. They need to be south facing for maximum efficiency. They are expensive to manufacture so they can have a long pay back time.
