I think in pictures, so I went looking
This is a normal PV feed-in system (I think)
This seems to be an Off-Grid system
And this is a simplified Solar Thermal
And this one is a Hybrid PV and ST system, according to the blar PV is more efficient if cooled below 25C..... I didn't know about these
Financial meltdown, ergo solar panels?

Re: Financial meltdown, ergo solar panels?
Ahhh there's the confusion
Solar thermal sun heats hot water
Pv electricity heats element heats hot water
I've got three Rotex solar thermal panels on roof , which was going to be connected to a 300l thermal store , with a daikin air source heat pump , but due to lack of money we went for a lpg tank and boiler .
But it's on the roof , we've heated the wee swimming pool with it , two summer's ago when it was warm . But it's not what it was designed for but it works .
