Another means of alternative heat sources is the sun or solar heating that can provide heat though this may require a big amount for installation. The passive solar system uses the structure of the building to collect and store heat from the sun. This requires the home to be fully designed to implement or disperse thermal mass throughout the home. The active solar heating uses large collector plates to be installed on the roof which gather the sun`s energy.
