Systems and methods for employing solar thermal energy for heating are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system is disclosed, in which a thermal-fluid-filled solar-thermal panel that has been sealed to prevent leakage of the thermal fluid. In other embodiments, a method of sealing a solar thermal panel is disclosed. In one preferred embodiment, the solar thermal panel is sealed by applying heat to one edge of the solar thermal panel, thereby melting the edge and forming a seal.
