Renewables 2019 categorises distributed solar PV remuneration schemes into five main categories: 1) buy-all, sell-all; 2) net metering; 3) real-time self-consumption at the wholesale price;

What is the difference between solar thermal and solar PV?

Solar PV systems: A solar PV system is what most folks think of when they think about solar power. They work by collecting the sun’s energy through their PV (photovoltaic) cells. This energy is then converted into electricity. Solar thermal systems: By contrast solar thermal systems use the sun’s energy to heat a special transfer fluid.
