active is through solar pannels converting energy that can be used for heat and passive is the heat created naturally by sun on a surface

Passive would be a solar hot water heater that doesn't require a pump to circulate the hot water; it just heats the water before it goes into your hot water heater. Active would be one that requires a pump to circulate the hot water.

Hi. Active solar is used to CONVERT solar power into something else. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=Active%20solar&gwp=16
Passive solar uses the energy directly. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=Passive%20solar&gwp=16
