Active solar thermal energy systems of low temperature use an energy collector, especially suitable for
heating water for human use and heating. The main components are the solar collector, a storage
system and the distribution or consumption system.
The basic element, the collector, contains an absorber which converts the incident solar radiation into
collected energy; later on, the energy is transferred to the water for transport directly to the load or to
isolated tanks for later use.
A family consisting in four members uses 200 litres. of hot water a day. In Crete island and Cyprus
these systems are very used and equipped each house and building.
