The active solar heating system uses solar collectors to capture energy from the sun and store it as Heat for space heating and water heating. Liquid or air pumped through the collectors transfers the captured heat to a storage system, such as an insulated water tank or rock bed. Pumps or fans then distribute the stored heat or hot water throughout a dwelling as needed. Compare it with a passive solar heating system.
