Solar Thermal & Photovoltaic Working Together

Solar Thermal and PV should not be seen as competing technologies or products as they perform different functions and as shown below can be installed together to provide a well balanced solar energy harnessing system. Electricity can be used for almost any application, and so is a universal energy source. Heat is required for hot water and space heating which represent a large % of a household's total energy requirements.

A system that incorporates a solar thermal system with a modest sized PV system is a great option
