It pumps the water up there, heats it, runs it through there, the sun heats it and back into the pool. This one is called solar thermal or

Thats your hot water that you use four showers and dishwashers. Were going to talk about solar electric. They have the same technology as computer chips. Theyre similar in structure to that tran cystorlike computer Chip Technology based on silicon. The best thing about them is there are no moving parts and they last a long time.
