2. Solar-powered pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_pump

   A windpump replaced by a solar-powered pump at a water hole in the Augrabies Falls National Park. [Notes 1] This solar water pump up to 3.7 kW is useful for farmers.Solar-powered pumps run on electricity generated by photovoltaic (PV) panels or the radiated thermal energy available from collected sunlight as opposed to grid electricity- or diesel-run water pumps.

3. Solar-powered Stirling engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_Stirling_engine

   NASA patented a type of solar-powered Stirling engine on August 3, 1976. It used solar energy to pump water from a river, lake, or stream. [1] The purpose of this apparatus is to “provide a low-cost, low-technology pump having particular utility in irrigation systems employed in underdeveloped arid regions of the earth…[using] the basic principles of the Stirling heat engine“.

4. Solar pond - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_pond

   Solar Evaporation Ponds in the Atacama Desert. The largest operating solar pond for electricity generation was the Beit HaArava pond built in Israel and operated up until 1988. It had an area of 210,000 m² and gave an electrical output of 5 MW. [3] India was the first Asian country to have established a solar pond in Bhuj, in Gujarat.

5. Solar desalination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_desalination

   Solar-powered RO desalination is common in demonstration plants due to the modularity and scalability of both PV and RO systems. An economic analysis [40] that explored an optimisation strategy [41] of PV-powered RO reported favorable results. PV converts solar radiation into direct-current (DC) electricity, which powers the RO unit. The ...

6. Solar updraft tower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_updraft_tower

   This solar cyclonic water distiller in the updraft above a solar collector pond could adapt the solar collector-chimney system for large-scale desalination of collected brine, brackish- or waste-water pooled in the collector base. [74] Fitted with a vortex chimney scrubber, the updraft could be cleaned of particulate air pollution.

7. Solana Generating Station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solana_Generating_Station

   The Solana Generating Station is a solar power plant near Gila Bend, Arizona, about 70 miles (110 km) southwest of Phoenix.It was completed in 2013. When commissioned, it was the largest parabolic trough plant in the world, and the first U.S. solar plant with molten salt thermal energy storage. [3]
