  2. Solar energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy_conversion

    Solar energy conversion has the potential to be a very cost-effective technology. It is cheaper as compared to non-conventional energy sources. The use of solar energy help to increase employment and development of the transportation & agriculture sector. Solar installations are becoming cheaper and more readily available to countries where ...

  3. Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion - Wikipedia

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

    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.

  4. 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.

  5. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

    The efficiency of a concentrating solar power system depends on the technology used to convert the solar power to electrical energy, the operating temperature of the receiver and the heat rejection, thermal losses in the system, and the presence or absence of other system losses; in addition to the conversion efficiency, the optical system ...

  6. Solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power

    Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Solar panels use the photovoltaic effect to convert light into an electric current . [ 2 ]

  7. 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.
