  2. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

    Heat in a solar thermal system is guided by five basic principles: heat gain; heat transfer; heat storage; heat transport; and heat insulation. [59] Here, heat is the measure of the amount of thermal energy an object contains and is determined by the temperature, mass and specific heat of the object.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Solar water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating

    The amount of heat delivered by a solar water heating system depends primarily on the amount of heat delivered by the sun at a particular place . In the tropics insolation can be relatively high, e.g. 7 kWh/m 2 per day, versus e.g., 3.2 kWh/m 2 per day in temperate areas. Even at the same latitude average insolation can vary a great deal from ...

  5. Solar heat collector and radiator for building roof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_heat_collector_and...

    It was built to be used in conjunction with solar energy and uses a system of air circulation for increased efficiency. [1] A solar heat collector, or solar thermal collector, is used today to capture solar radiation through electromagnetic radiation with the use of solar hot water panels, solar parabolic troughs, or solar towers. Today many ...

  6. Renewable heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_heat

    Solar heating is a style of building construction which uses the energy of summer or winter sunshine to provide an economic supply of primary or supplementary heat to a structure. The heat can be used for both space heating (see solar air heat) and water heating (see solar hot water). Solar heating design is divided into two groups:

  7. Central solar heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_solar_heating

    Central solar heating is a sub-class of 'large-scale solar heating' systems - a term applied to systems with solar collector areas greater than 500 m 2. Aquifers, boreholes and artificial ponds (costing €30/m 3 ) are used as heat storage (up to 90% efficient) in some central solar heating plants, which later extract the heat (similar to ...

  8. Optical overheating protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_overheating_protection

    The main application for which the optical switch was developed is overheating protection for solar thermal collectors. [4] The prismatic geometry can be integrated within the cover plate of the collectors to prevent them from overheating, either by self-regulation through evaporation, or by draining the water out of the switch at a specified ...

  9. Renewable thermal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_thermal_energy

    Renewable thermal energy is the technology of gathering thermal energy from a renewable energy source for immediate use or for storage in a thermal battery for later use.. The most popular form of renewable thermal energy is the sun and the solar energy is harvested by solar collectors to heat water, buildings, pools and various processes.
