1. Introduction
Together
with
geothermal
energy
[9],[10],[12], the utilization of the solar
energy, as one of renewable energy source
type and as one of the environmentally
clean energy sources, has dynamically
increased in EU countries during last years
[3],[4],[7],[8]. Among frequently used
methods of solar energy, the utilization
belongs to solar collectors which convert
solar energy to heat [5], [6].
The correct utilization of the solar
radiation may save up to 60 % of costs for
water heating per year (Figure 1).
effectively
and
ecologically
utilized
according to the effectiveness of method
used for the energy collection and
conversion or transport [14].
There are some studies of real world
utilization of the solar energy in housing
estates [11],[15] or other buildings.
Sun supplies its energy in long time
terms, so from our point of view this energy
source is exhaustless.
Direct and indirect utilization of the solar
radiation has almost no negative ecological
aspects. The word used it more or less
intentionally, because some technologies of
the active solar radiation conversion to other
energy forms use dangerous manufacturing
methods. It applies especially to the silicon
based photovoltaic panel manufacturing.
Also
during
the
solar
collector
manufacturing process, some amount of
energy is consumed. According to some
references, the collector regenerates this
consumed energy in time period of some
months.

5. Conclusions
Industrial heat
In industry, the solar energy is used
mainly for heat up to 100 C (e.g. brewhouses, cannery and other manufactures).
Next years, it is expectable that the
importance of solar energy arises in the
area of solar cooling and sea water
desalination.
