- As we all know, the heat from the sun is immense.
- Another way of producing the energy from the sun is by the thermal process.
- When a dark surface/body/collector is positioned in sunshine, it absorbs almost all the heat from the sun and the temperature of the surface rises.
- The heat is then transferred to liquid that is in contact with the surface.
- The heat in a liquid can be used to provide hot water or to produce electricity through a turbine generator.
