  2. Solar power in Texas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_Texas

    Texas has the potential to generate 22,787 TWh/year, more than any other state, from 7.743 TW of concentrated solar power plants, using 34% of Texas, [32] and 131.2 TWh/year from 97.8 GW of rooftop photovoltaic panels, 34.6% of the electricity used in the state in 2013. [33] The 1,310-megawatt Samson Solar farm is under construction in ...

  3. 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 ...

  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. [1]

  5. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

    Thermosiphon installation have negligible maintenance costs (costs rise if antifreeze and mains power are used for circulation) and in the US reduces a households' operating costs by $6 per person per month. Solar water heating can reduce CO 2 emissions of a family of four by 1 ton/year (if replacing natural gas) or 3 ton/year (if replacing ...

    The heated water can then be used in homes. The advantage of solar thermal is that the heated water can be stored until it is needed, eliminating the need for a separate energy storage system. [68] Solar thermal power can also be converted to electricity by using the steam generated from the heated water to drive a turbine connected to a ...

  7. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

    A solar power tower consists of an array of dual-axis tracking reflectors (heliostats) that concentrate sunlight on a central receiver atop a tower; the receiver contains a heat-transfer fluid, which can consist of water-steam or molten salt. Optically a solar power tower is the same as a circular Fresnel reflector.
