  2. Solar heat collector and radiator for building roof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_heat_collector_and...

    A solar heat collector, or solar thermal collector, is used today to capture solar radiation through electromagnetic radiation with the use of solar hot water panels, solar parabolic troughs, or solar towers. Today many people create their own DIY solar heat collectors, but the inventor William Goettl was the first to design and patent this ...

  3. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

    A solar thermal collector collects heat by absorbing sunlight. 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]

  4. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

    Heat in a solar thermal system is guided by five basic principles: heat gain; heat transfer; heat storage; heat transport; and heat insulation. [59] 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.

  5. Photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_thermal...

    Photovoltaic thermal collectors, typically abbreviated as PVT collectors and also known as hybrid solar collectors, photovoltaic thermal solar collectors, PV/T collectors or solar cogeneration systems, are power generation technologies that convert solar radiation into usable thermal and electrical energy.

  6. Central solar heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_solar_heating

    Central solar heating is a sub-class of 'large-scale solar heating' systems - a term applied to systems with solar collector areas greater than 500 m 2. Aquifers, boreholes and artificial ponds (costing €30/m 3 ) are used as heat storage (up to 90% efficient) in some central solar heating plants, which later extract the heat (similar to ...

  7. Nanofluids in solar collectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanofluids_in_solar_collectors

    An ideal solar collector will absorb the concentrated solar radiation, convert partially that incident solar radiation into heat and transfer the heat to the heat transfer fluid. Higher the heat transfer rate to the fluid leads to higher outlet temperature and higher temperatues leads to improved conversion efficiency in the power cycle ...

  8. Micro combined heat and power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_combined_heat_and_power

    Combined heat and power (CHP) systems for homes or small commercial buildings are usually fueled by natural gas to produce electricity and heat. [12] If no access to the natural gas network is available, which in general is the cheapest alternative, LPG , LNG or heating fuel (diesel) might be an alternative.

  9. Trombe wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombe_wall

    Unlike an active solar system that employs hardware and mechanical equipment to collect or transport heat, a Trombe wall is a passive solar-heating system where the thermal energy flows in the system by natural means such as radiation, conduction, and natural convection.
