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

In passive solar design, the building is designed to make use of the sun to warm its walls, floors and roof during the winter, and to reject too much heat from the sun in summer. It is called passive because it does not use any mechanical or technical products like solar panels.
Solar energy is used for heating and electricity.

The two types of solar heating systems are active solar heating systems, which use pumps and fans to circulate air or fluid, and passive solar heating systems, which rely on building design and materials to capture and store heat from the sun.
Passive solar heating systems harness solar energy through the design and orientation of a building's windows, walls, and materials to maximize heat absorption. Active solar heating systems use solar collectors, such as solar panels or thermal collectors, to capture solar radiation and convert it into heat for space heating or hot water.
solar collectors are parts of all solar energy systems passive systems dont move pumps, fans, trackers are parts of active solar systems
passive solar-heating system, and active solar-heating system are two types of heating system.. =D By: Wilfred Castro.
well according to my research the active solar heating system captures solar radiation through mirrors and mirror plates. passive solar heating systems use the architectural design and construction material of a building.
Moving parts and special equipment. Passive systems rely on the sun to warm a building through windows and walls. Active systems use solar panels, or solar water panels and use the energy or heated water to provide heating.
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.

One is passive solar in which solar heat is distributed by gravity. Hot air is less dense and tends to rise. This can be used to replace cool, denser air, from lower places. Another method is active heating which entails generating power, for instance electricity, which can be used to heat by using electric power.
