Solar heaters use energy from the sun to create heat. These heaters encompass a variety of products, such as solar hot water heaters, solar pool heaters and solar space heaters that can warm up small areas, like a camping tent or greenhouse.

Solar thermal encapsulates any technology that takes sunlight and converts it into heat. That heat can then be used for three primary purposes: to be converted into electricity, to heat water for use in your home or business, or to heat spaces within your house.

Solar air heaters are designed to transfer sunlight into heat, which then circulates throughout your home, warming it to cozier temperatures. Conveniently, these solar heating systems are highly simplistic and built to work with your existing HVAC systems, such as your gas furnace or heat pump unit.
