Solar power

Types

• Solar panels (photovoltaics) - most common type of solar power
• Solar thermal panels - suitable for heating and hot water, but not electricity 💬 discussion maybe also mention here: combined photovoltaic+thermal panels?
• Concentrated solar - another approach that has its own pros and cons 💬 discussion When creating that page, be sure to mention the types: 1. Concentrated solar thermal (high heats which can also generate electricity or be put to some other use). 2. Concentrator photovoltaics (basically a solar panel with a magnifying glass)
