http://www.eia.doe.gov/fuelrenewable.htmlSolar Energy: The radiant energy of the sun, which can be converted into other forms of energy, such as heat or electricity.

Solar Thermal Collector: A device designed to receive solar radiation and convert it into thermal energy. Normally, asolar thermal collector includes a frame, glazing, and an absorber, together with the appropriate insulation. The heatcollected by the solar thermal collector may be used immediately or stored for later use.

Solar Thermal Collector, Special: An evacuated tube collector or a concentrating (focusing) collector. Special collectorsoperate in the temperature (low concentration for pool heating) to several hundred degrees Fahrenheit (high concentrationfor air conditioning and specialized industrial processes).
