Researchers make game-changing breakthrough that could change how we heat our homes: 'Has great potential'

While photovoltaics convert the sun's rays into electricity, solar thermal collectors absorb its heat energy for home and industrial purposes.  A researcher at Umeå University in Sweden recently developed new sustainable coatings for these collectors that can improve their efficiency and durability, according to a report from the school.  "Solar thermal has great potential to contribute to the green transition, especially as a source of industri…
