  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collector - Wikipedia

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

    PVT collectors combine the generation of solar electricity and heat in a single component, and thus achieve a higher overall efficiency and better utilization of the solar spectrum than conventional PV modules. Utilization of solar spectrum of a PVT collector. Photovoltaic cells typically reach an electrical efficiency between 15% and 20% ...

  5. Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophotovoltaic_energy...

    Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion. Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion is a direct conversion process from heat to electricity via photons. A basic thermophotovoltaic system consists of a hot object emitting thermal radiation and a photovoltaic cell similar to a solar cell but tuned to the spectrum being emitted from the hot object.

  6. Thermodynamic solar panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_solar_panel

    A thermodynamic solar panel is a type of air source heat pump. Instead of a large fan to take energy from the air, it has a flat plate collector. This means the system gains energy from the sun as well as the ambient air. [1] Thermodynamic water heaters use a compressor to transfer the collected heat from the panel to the hot water system using ...

  7. 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.
