Differences between solar thermal and photovoltaic panels

Although both ensure excellent energy efficiency, both domestic and industrial, in practice there are actually some differences between solar thermal panels and photovoltaic solar panels.

The former, which transform solar radiation into thermal energy, depending on the system used (thermosiphon and closed circulation) are usually more expensive but also guarantee more income and savings.

On the other hand, photovoltaic panels, which convert solar energy into electric current, are also great options, especially because the installation is very fast and does not require much maintenance care.
