Introduction to Solar Thermal Energy

It is becoming increasingly evident that climate change is a huge threat to society and also represents a considerable investment risk to businesses. The need to move towards cleaner sources of power is of the essence and although this has been happening with electricity, the generation of clean heat has lagged behind. Amongst all renewable power sources, the sun provides us with the greatest opportunity but is yet to be maximised. The opportunity to use solar thermal technology to decarbonise heat (generate clean heat) will be a major milestone in mitigating climate change. In this video we will introduce solar thermal technology and how it could be used to deliver clean heat.
