  2. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

    This solar power system can generate power in cloudy weather or at night using the heat in the tank of hot salt. The tanks are insulated, able to store heat for a week. Tanks that power a 100-megawatt turbine for four hours would be about 9 m (30 ft) tall and 24 m (80 ft) in diameter.

  3. Photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_thermal...

    The heated air is circulated into a building HVAC system to deliver thermal energy. Excess heat generated can be simply vented to the atmosphere. Some versions of the PVT air collector can be operated in a way to cool the PV panels to generate more electricity and assist with reducing thermal effects on lifetime performance degradation.

  4. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

    The efficiency of a concentrating solar power system depends on the technology used to convert the solar power to electrical energy, the operating temperature of the receiver and the heat rejection, thermal losses in the system, and the presence or absence of other system losses; in addition to the conversion efficiency, the optical system ...

  5. Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophotovoltaic_energy...

    Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion is a direct conversion process from heat to electricity via photons.A basic thermophotovoltaic system consists of a hot object emitting thermal radiation and a photovoltaic cell similar to a solar cell but tuned to the spectrum being emitted from the hot object.

  6. Solar energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy

    In this system the solar thermal panel performs the function of the low temperature heat source and the heat produced is used to feed the heat pump's evaporator. [142] The goal of this system is to get high COP and then produce energy in a more efficient and less expensive way.

  7. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

    Solar air heating is a renewable energy heating technology used to heat or condition air for buildings or process heat applications. It is typically the most cost-effective of all the solar technologies, especially in large scale applications, and it addresses the largest usage of building energy in heating climates, which is space heating and ...
