Working principle of solar heating cable

What are solar-powered heat cables?

Solar-powered heat cables are the stiffer variation of solar heat tapes. Solar heat cables can still be wrapped on conventional surfaces, such as pipes, but they can’t be used on irregular surfaces. While solar heat tapes come in fixed lengths, heat cables can be cut to length and terminations added as needed.

What is the CIBSE solar water heating guide?
