The Passive Solar House - Solar Energy Without Solar Panels

A passive solar house... what is it exactly? Well, there are two main types of solar ability; active and passive. Active utilizes the ability of photovoltaic cells, wafers of layered P-type and N-type silicon which transform the energy of the photons from the sunlight's rays falling onto the cells into flowing electrons of electricity. Passive solar ability is a bit different - instead of extracting energy solely from the sun's blaze, it does so primarily from the sun's heat, however in some ways from the blaze as well. How is this done? Allow me to clarify... More information: residential window tint.
