A solar collector (Solaranlage) is a device that is designed to collect energy from the sun in order to turn it into a more usable or storable form. Solar collectors are regularly seen on solar water heating systems, where they work together with other components like heat transfer circuits and storage systems. Solar collectors are also referred to as solar thermal collectors, and can either be dedicated devices used in the generation of electricity or other devices that are able to directly transfer heat in order to use it in some other way. The two most popular consumer products that utilise solar collectors are solar hot water systems and solar cells that use photovoltaics to generate electricity. Solar collectors are often housed in an outside environment, and require the use of specialised protective coatings and materials to protect the sensitive equipment inside.

Many people enjoy gardening and get a lot of pleasure seeing the bulbs and plants they have planted a few months before starting to grow. Looking after a garden is hard work and unless it is tended on a regular basis can soon get overgrown. Mowing the grass, trimming the hedges and weeding all takes time and where it is a pleasure for some people it can become quite a chore for others. Older people with big gardens and younger people with very little time sometimes employ a professional gardener to do the work for them. Over the last few years there has been a big demand for allotments as people want to grow their own fruit and vegetables. Buying organic fruit and vegetables from the shop can be very expensive, so growing your own has become very popular.
