  2. Solar water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating

    e. Solar water heating (SWH) is heating water by sunlight, using a solar thermal collector. A variety of configurations are available at varying cost to provide solutions in different climates and latitudes. SWHs are widely used for residential and some industrial applications. [1][2]

  3. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

    In passive solar building design, windows, walls, and floors are made to collect, store, reflect, and distribute solar energy, in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer. This is called passive solar design because, unlike active solar heating systems, it does not involve the use of mechanical and electrical devices.

  4. 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.

  5. Trombe wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombe_wall

    A Trombe wall is a passive solar building design strategy that adopts the concept of indirect-gain, where sunlight first strikes a solar energy collection surface in contact with a thermal mass of air. The sunlight absorbed by the mass is converted to thermal energy (heat) and then transferred into the living space.

  6. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

    Solar thermal energy. Roof-mounted close-coupled thermosiphon solar water heater. The first three units of Solnova in the foreground, with the two towers of the PS10 and PS20 solar power stations in the background. Solar thermal energy (STE) is a form of energy and a technology for harnessing solar energy to generate thermal energy for use in ...

  7. Solar energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy

    Solar water heaters facing the Sun to maximize gain. Solar hot water systems use sunlight to heat water. In middle geographical latitudes (between 40 degrees north and 40 degrees south), 60 to 70% of the domestic hot water use, with water temperatures up to 60 °C (140 °F), can be provided by solar heating systems.
