Transpired solar air collector technology, developed at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) back in the 1990s, recently found its way back home and is ...

An efficient and lightweight rooftop solar hot-air collector — the Luba™ GL — is designed for supplemental outside air heating in commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities. Patented by ...

Mother contributor Gary Reysaís Montana home has a shed (right) that collects and transfers heat to the house (left) through underground water pipes. The garage (middle) is heated by solar hot air ...

LNG, solar collectors improve round-trip efficiency of LAES systems Scientists simulated several liquid air energy storage systems, comparing round-trip efficiency across configurations that include ...

Researchers in Italy have designed a novel carbon dioxide heat pump that can work with photovoltaic-thermal energy, a finned coil heat exchanger and a U-tube borehole heat exchanger. Their experiment ...

Solar thermal energy is the process of concentrating sunlight to create heat, which can be used to create electricity or to heat a home, its water supply and more. Solar thermal energy can be used as ...

Solar-concentrating thermal technology is being used to power the air-conditioning system of an entire shopping center in Australia solely from the rays of the sun. With around 60 percent of all ...

In the summer, both air conditioning demand and solar energy generation are at their peak — so what happens when you pair the two? As Gavin Harper, a research fellow at the University of Birmingham ...

Researchers working at Michigan State University (MSU) have created a completely transparent solar collector which is so clear that it could replace conventional glass in windows. The new devices – ...
