  2. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

    A solar power tower consists of an array of dual-axis tracking reflectors that concentrate sunlight on a central receiver atop a tower; the receiver contains a heat-transfer fluid, which can consist of water-steam or molten salt. Optically a solar power tower is the same as a circular Fresnel reflector.

  3. Concentrator photovoltaics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrator_photovoltaics

    Concentrator photovoltaics and thermal (CPVT), also sometimes called combined heat and power solar (CHAPS) or hybrid thermal CPV, is a cogeneration or micro cogeneration technology used in the field of concentrator photovoltaics that produces usable heat and electricity within the same system.

  4. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

    The term "solar collector" commonly refers to a device for solar hot water heating, but may refer to large power generating installations such as solar parabolic troughs and solar towers or non-water heating devices such as solar cookers or solar air heaters. [1] Solar thermal collectors are either non-concentrating or concentrating.

  5. Solar energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy

    Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic systems, concentrated solar power, and solar water heating to harness the energy. Passive solar techniques include designing a building for better daylighting , selecting materials with favorable thermal mass or light-dispersing properties, and organizing spaces that naturally circulate air .

    An insolation map of the United States with installed PV capacity, 2019. A 2012 report from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) described technically available renewable energy resources for each state and estimated that urban utility-scale photovoltaics could supply 2,232 TWh/year, rural utility-scale PV 280,613 TWh/year, rooftop PV 818 TWh/year, and CSP 116,146 TWh/year, for a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_photovoltaic...

    In Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV) systems differs from PV system is the solar radiation is concentrated on the PV cells to generate additional electricity than a normal flat panel. [7] The disadvantages of CPV system is as the intensity of the radiation increases, so does the temperature and hence decreases the electrical efficiency of the ...
