The sun’s energy has two parts of solar energy – light and heat. The heat energy is used in Solar Heating Systems which are very popular due to their cost-efficiency and easy installability, in places that receive sunshine throughout the year, like India, Spain, Greece, Africa, America, etc. There are many Solar Heating systems  – the first is called the Active Solar Heating System, it has what is known as a solar collector to heat a fluid, like oil, water, etc. Then this fluid is pumped or blown through ducts to deliver the heat wherever it is needed. The heat collected and held by the fluids than can be stored in insulated tanks made of brick or stone – a very popular heat storage system in cold countries. This system is very easy to install, generally on the rooftops or the areas that receive maximum sunlight and for longest hours.   Other options include solar lighting of which installation can be goverment funded.
