    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power

    collecting solar energy in space with reflectors or inflatable mirrors onto solar cells or heaters for thermal systems; wireless power transmission to Earth via microwave or laser; receiving power on Earth via a rectenna, a microwave antenna; The space-based portion will not need to support itself against gravity (other than relatively weak ...

  3. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

    A "purely passive" solar-heated house would have no mechanical furnace unit, relying instead on energy captured from sunshine, only supplemented by "incidental" heat energy given off by lights, computers, and other task-specific appliances (such as those for cooking, entertainment, etc.), showering, people and pets.

  4. Space Solar Power Exploratory Research and Technology program

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Solar_Power...

    Such a system was devised for use on an SSP. [citation needed] Cost, mass, and technical risk of various Solar Power Generation (SPG) options for a solar dynamic system were studied. For a 10MW SD system, at high power levels this technology was shown to be competitive with projected photovoltaic systems.

  5. Double envelope house - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_envelope_house

    A double envelope house is a passive solar house design which collects solar energy in a solarium and passively allows the warm air to circulate around the house between two sets of walls, a double building envelope. This design is from 1975 by Lee Porter Butler in the United States.

  6. Trombe wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombe_wall

    The house is primarily heated by radiation and convection from the inner surface of the concrete wall and the results from studies show that 70% of this building's yearly heating needs are supplied by solar energy. Therefore, the efficiency of the system is comparable to a good active solar heating system.

  7. Solar Umbrella house - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Umbrella_house

    Passively adapted to the temperate-arid climate of southern California, the major design feature of the Solar Umbrella is a shading solar canopy.Rather than deflecting sunlight, this contemporary solar canopy uses 89 amorphous photovoltaic panels to transform the sunlight into usable energy, providing 95% of the residence's electricity.
