2. Concentrator photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrator_photovoltaics

   Concentrator photovoltaics and thermal (CPVT), also sometimes called combined heat and power solar (CHAPS) or hybrid thermal CPV, is a cogeneration or micro cogeneration technology used in the field of concentrator photovoltaics that produces usable heat and electricity within the same system.

3. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

   A solar power tower consists of an array of dual-axis tracking reflectors 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.

4. Concentrated photovoltaic thermal system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_photovoltaic...

   In Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV) systems differs from PV system is the solar radiation is concentrated on the PV cells to generate additional electricity than a normal flat panel. [7] The disadvantages of CPV system is as the intensity of the radiation increases, so does the temperature and hence decreases the electrical efficiency of the ...

5. Does Concentrated Solar Pose a Threat?

   Concentrated solar power, or CSP, usually uses a system of reflectors to heat up a liquid, and then drive a turbine. The system relies on simple physics and offers one big benefit that ...

6. 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 ...

7. 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.
