Instead of using panels and fans, a Passive Solar home is built like a giant solarium. Windows on the roof capture heat from the sun and natural convection circulates it throughout the house. Solar panels, on the other hand, capture solar radiation and move it through a system that converts it to electricity to power our lives.
