Welcome to the Solar News channel. This channel will provide you with news
and information as it applies to solar energy topics.
Solar technologies are broadly characterized as either passive or active
depending on the way they capture, convert and distribute sunlight. Active solar
techniques use photovoltaic panels, pumps, and fans to convert sunlight into
useful outputs. Passive solar techniques include selecting materials with
favorable thermal properties, designing spaces that naturally circulate air, and
referencing the position of a building to the Sun.
