Thermal panels

Thermal panels, also known as solar collectors, are devices that use sunlight to heat water. Unlike solar panels, which convert sunlight into electrical energy, thermal panels absorb heat from the sun and transfer this heat to water in a storage tank.

They reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions by utilizing a renewable energy source. They are suitable for heating water in homes, hotels, swimming pools, and other facilities where hot water is needed.

Thermal panels are installed on the roofs of buildings similarly to solar panels to maximize exposure to sunlight.

Transmission system

The transmission system is a crucial part of the electrical grid that ensures the transfer of electrical energy over long distances from producers (power plants) to distribution systems or directly to large industrial consumers. The transmission system uses high-voltage lines to minimize energy losses during transmission. In our country, the transmission system consists of networks operating at 400 kV and 220 kV.
