Central solar heating

Central solar heating is a way for people to use the energy from the sun to heat their homes. It works by installing special equipment on the roof of your house that collects the energy from the sun and then funnels it into a “central” location in the home. That energy is then used to heat the air and water inside your home, so you don’t have to use as much energy from the power plant. It’s a great way to get energy and help the environment at the same time.
