What is the purpose of the glazing in a flat-plate collector?

To allow sunlight to reach the absorber plate

To circulate the fluid through the system

To cool down the fluid before it enters the collector

What is the role of the pump in the solar water heating system?

To move the fluid through the system

How does the existing water heater integrate with the solar water heater system?

It acts as a backup heater when solar energy is insufficient

It pumps the fluid through the solar water heater

Do photovoltaic components have moving parts?

Yes, they have many moving parts

Yes, but only a few moving parts
