solar panels


Explanation:
"collettori solari" = "solar panels" oppure "photovoltaic cells/panels".
bisognerebbe vedere il contesto.

  • The solar panel can be used as a component of a larger photovoltaic system to generate and supply electricity.

solar collectors


Explanation:
A solar collector is not the same as a solar panel.


Q: What is the difference between a solar panel and a solar collector?

A: “Solar Collector” is normally associated with hot water
“Solar Panel” is normally associated with photovoltaic’s
http://www.northwestsolargroup.org/cms/index.php?option=com_...

Solar Collectors use the greenhouse effect to capture the sun's energy. It is able to harvest the suns energy in the form of heat. Greenhouses use air to transfer heat and Collectors use water or a combination of water and antifreeze.

Solar Panels (or solar panel kits) are very much different.. They convert solar radiation into electricity and they work best in direct sunlight at a low temperature.
