Direct gain is a type of passive solar heating system that uses direct solar radiation to heat a building. Buildings using a direct gain system use large, south-facing windows to admit sunlight. However using a direct gain system requires that a structure uses thermal storage material to absorb the radiation or inside temperatures will rise to more than 90deg F.
