Despite its considerable potential in household, domestic and industry sectors, the possible contribution of
solar heat is often neglected in many academic and institutional energy projections and scenarios. This is best
explained by the frequent failure to distinguish heat and work as two different forms of energy transfers. As a
result, policy makers in many countries or States have tended to pay lesser attention to solar thermal
technologies than to other renewable energy technologies.
