2. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

   Passive solar building design. This image shows the characteristics of a Passive Solar home and its benefits. 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 ...

3. Renewable energy debate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_debate

   Renewable energy debate. Global public support for energy sources, based on a survey by Ipsos (2011). [1] The 5 GW Rampart Dam was terminated as a result of concerns about indigenous people and ecological conservation issues. Policy makers often debate the constraints and opportunities of renewable energy. Renewable electricity production, from ...

4. Solar energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy

   Electricity production. 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. [63]

5. Trombe wall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombe_wall

   Trombe wall. A Trombe wall is a massive equator-facing wall that is painted a dark color in order to absorb thermal energy from incident sunlight and covered with a glass on the outside with an insulating air-gap between the wall and the glaze. A Trombe wall is a passive solar building design strategy that adopts the concept of indirect-gain ...

   The company, however, is prioritising the use of UE Power on windows in an attempt to help buildings reduce their colossal climate footprint.While standard solar panels soak up the full light ...

7. Solar chimney - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_chimney

   Solar chimney. A solar chimney – often referred to as a thermal chimney – is a way of improving the natural ventilation of buildings by using convection of air heated by passive solar energy. A simple description of a solar chimney is that of a vertical shaft utilizing solar energy to enhance the natural stack ventilation through a building.

8. Photovoltaic mounting system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_mounting_system

   Photovoltaic mounting systems (also called solar module racking) are used to fix solar panels on surfaces like roofs, building facades, or the ground. [1] These mounting systems generally enable retrofitting of solar panels on roofs or as part of the structure of the building (called BIPV). [2] As the relative costs of solar photovoltaic (PV ...
