Italian to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation energia rinnovabile
Il comune di X ha prescritto l'impiego di collettori solari nei nuovi progetti di costruzione nel proprio regolamento edilizio. Inoltre, dal 2014 i nuovi impianti degli edifici residenziali con un elevato consumo di energia termica saranno autorizzati solo se provvisti di adeguati collettori solari.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

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

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

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.
