solar collectors
Sunlight energy gatherers
Solar collectors are devices that capture sunlight and convert it to usable heat or electricity.
The term covers a range of technologies from simple rooftop panels that warm water to concentrating mirrors that focus sunlight for power generation.
The house uses solar collectors to heat the pool.
