2. List of solar-powered products - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_solar-powered_products

   Picture of a Solar Compacting Trashcan Solar-powered fountain in a bird bath under shade versus direct sunlight. The following is a list of products powered by sunlight, either directly or through electricity generated by solar panels.

3. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

   Solar air heating is a renewable energy heating technology used to heat or condition air for buildings or process heat applications. It is typically the most cost-effective of all the solar technologies, especially in large scale applications, and it addresses the largest usage of building energy in heating climates, which is space heating and ...

4. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

   Here, heat is the measure of the amount of thermal energy an object contains and is determined by the temperature, mass and specific heat of the object. Solar thermal power plants use heat exchangers that are designed for constant working conditions, to provide heat exchange.

5. Solar-assisted heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-assisted_heat_pump

   The operating conditions' optimization of this system is the main challenge, because there are two opposing trends of the performance of the two sub-systems: by way of example, decreasing the evaporation temperature of the working fluid increases the thermal efficiency of the solar panel but decreases the performance of the heat pump, and consequently the COP.

6. Solar water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating

   When a solar water heating and hot-water central heating system are used together, solar heat will either be concentrated in a pre-heating tank that feeds into the tank heated by the central heating, or the solar heat exchanger will replace the lower heating element and the upper element will remain to provide for supplemental heat. However ...

7. Seasonal thermal energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_thermal_energy...

   An example of one of the several kinds of STES illustrates well the capability of interseasonal heat storage. In Alberta, Canada, the homes of the Drake Landing Solar Community (in operation since 2007), get 97% of their year-round heat from a district heat system that is supplied by solar heat from solar-thermal panels on garage roofs. This ...
