  2. Solar water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating

    Passive (thermosiphon) solar water heaters on a rooftop in Jerusalem. Israel, Cyprus and Greece are the per capita leaders in the use of solar water heating systems supporting 30%–40% of homes. [7] Flat plate solar systems were perfected and used on a large scale in Israel.

  3. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

    In an indirect-gain passive solar system, the thermal mass (concrete, masonry, or water) is located directly behind the south-facing glass and in front of the heated indoor space and so there is no direct heating. The position of the mass prevents sunlight from entering the indoor space and can also obstruct the view through the glass.

  4. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

    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] Solar thermal collectors are either non-concentrating or concentrating.

  5. Solar energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy

    Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic systems, concentrated solar power, and solar water heating to harness the energy. Passive solar techniques include designing a building for better daylighting, selecting materials with favorable thermal mass or light-dispersing properties, and organizing spaces that naturally circulate air.

  6. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

    The most popular solar heating technology for heating buildings is the building integrated transpired solar air collection system which connects to the building's HVAC equipment. According to Solar Energy Industries Association over 500,000 m 2 (5,000,000 square feet) of these panels are in operation in North America as of 2015.

  7. Thermosiphon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosiphon

    Thermosyphon circulation in a simple solar water heater (not a working model; there is no water supply to replenish the tank when the tap is used). A thermosiphon (or thermosyphon) is a device that employs a method of passive heat exchange based on natural convection, which circulates a fluid without the necessity of a mechanical pump.

  9. History of passive solar building design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_passive_solar...

    In the United States, interest in passive solar building design was significantly stimulated by the 1973 oil crisis. [10] Dozens of pattern books were published in this period, including the Passive Solar Energy Book by Edward Mazria. [11] In 1977, the U.S. Department of Energy was created, and in 1978 Solar Energy Tax credits were provided.
