They offer a return well above the long term average return from both the share market and also property investment.
Active solar panels.
A solar collector positioned on the roofs of buildings heats the fluid and then pumps it through a system of pipes to heat the whole building.
Solar panels have fallen in price by more than 80 in the last ten years.
Thanks to the photovoltaic effect photovoltaic panels can generate electricity that will later go through transformers and other external elements.
Active solar on the other hand is any technology that processes that sunlight or its properties ie its heat into something else.
Active solar heating systems use solar energy to heat a fluid either liquid or air and then transfer the solar heat directly to the interior space or to a storage system for later use.
An active solar energy system is a system that uses solar devices which are thermally isolated from living space or any other area where the energy is used to provide for the collection storage or distribution of solar energy.
The most common example of course is the thousands of rooftop solar panels in neighborhoods across the country taking sunlight and processing it into electricity.
In 2020 they also remain subsidized by the 26 federal tax credit and the net metering law making them an excellent investment.
Photovoltaic solar energy is clearly an active solar energy system.
