Such home solar panels are made of the usual silicon and glass materials that are needed to collect solar energy, converting it to power for your homes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Solar Panel Thermal Collectors&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is another type of solar energy converter, which is known as the solar thermal collector. Works in the same principle as the home solar panels, albeit the thermal collector is a gadget of pipes and absorption panels made of black-colored glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The solar thermal collectors work by having the black pipes filled up with water at the start of the day, refilling them as the need arises. As the sunshine continuously kisses the glass, it gets quickly heated up, consequently heating the water inside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Solar Panel Thermal Water Heater for Office and Kitchen Uses&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the water inside the pipes heat up, it is then flown to the area to which is will be utilized. Hot water in the business setting is certainly a must. Offices need hot water for the rest rooms, the kitchen or cafeteria and the pantry for the hot beverages. Imagine more companies and businesses utilizing this form of solar power to heat their water supply; surely a great amount of savings will be realized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Solar-heated Water for the Laundromat Business&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In case of the laundry business, hot water can be delivered by these solar thermal collectors in a cheap price. Ultimately, the customers will benefit as prices of laundry services are lowered because of inexpensive hot water. With the use of the solar panel thermal collector, the need for electricity to heat up the water is reduced if not totally eliminated – saving significant amount of money spent for the operation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27755711-2315225807538414557?l=my-solar-panel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-solar-panel.blogspot.com/feeds/2315225807538414557/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27755711&amp;postID=2315225807538414557' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27755711/posts/default/2315225807538414557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27755711/posts/default/2315225807538414557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-solar-panel.blogspot.com/2008/04/solar-panel-thermal-collectors-heating.html' title='Solar Panel Thermal Collectors: Heating the Water Supply'/><author><name>Ernest Maitim</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/114474055634385579314</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_111tDyFRaRU/SBMN9eBtygI/AAAAAAAABVY/lfMTJi7c4oo/s72-c/solar+panel.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry>
