Solar thermal collectors use the sun's energy to heat water or another fluid such as oil or antifreeze There is only a one time cost to installing solar panels. The way to get the most for your money is, really to have them installed at the time of the home being built. You have to figure, over-time, how long it will take regarding the cost of the solar panels vs the cost of your energy now.<br><b>References : </b><br> There are two types of devices that collect energy from the sun:
