Solar Thermal vs. Photovoltaic   We are specialists in solar thermal systems.  What many people think of as “solar” is actually a different technology, photovoltaic panels. Photovoltaic panes are optimized to generate electricity from the sun.  Solar thermal, on the other hand is optimized to generate hot water. As a matter of fact, solar thermal technology is five (5!) times more efficient at heating water than converting photovoltaic electricity into hot water. Allow us to help you determine which solar system might be best for your situation. You can reach Sun King Solar at 505-285-5300 or 505-290-7850.
