3.1 Operating principle
The short-wave solar radiation (sunlight) striking the solar panel is
converted into heat by the selective coating on the absorber. From
there it is transferred by heat conduction to the absorber pipe and
carried by the heat-transporting fluid to the calorifier. The solar-panel
fluid heats the calorifier by means of the energy absorbed from the
sun and cools down itself in the process.. The cooled heat-
transporting fluid then flows back to the solar panel in order to collect
more solar energy. An intelligent control system ensures that the
circulation system is only active when there is sufficient solar
radiation, thus optimising the collection of solar energy.
