Active solar heating systems use solar energy to heat a fluid -- either liquid or air -- and then transfer the solar heat directly to the interior space or to a storage system for later use. If the solar system cannot provide adequate space heating, an auxiliary or back-up system provides the additional heat. Liquid systems are more often used

Hot water systems generally utilise one of two main types of hot water cylinders: vented and unvented. Vented cylinders require a cold water storage tank, often located in a loft, which feeds water into the cylinder by gravity. This system typically incorporates a vent pipe and relies on atmospheric pressure to distribute hot water.
Aquifer thermal energy storage systems in combination with heat pumps are deeply studied [84], [85].
