Solar thermal systems use the sun's energy to heat water or air for various applications such as heating homes or generating steam for power generation, while solar PV systems convert sunlight directly into electricity using photovoltaic cells.
Solar thermal systems use sunlight to heat water or other fluids, which can then be used for various purposes like heating buildings or generating electricity. On the other hand, solar PV (photovoltaic) systems directly convert sunlight into electricity using solar panels made up of photovoltaic cells. While solar thermal systems are primarily used for heating, solar PV systems are designed for generating electricity.
