Spanish heating specialist Elnur Gabarron offers a residential heating system that works with surplus solar power and storage heaters. The system can work as a backup solution, combined with existing ...

Nguyen and her team solved this by designing a version of their molecule that remains liquid at room temperature. It requires ...

Switch to solar with a system built for you. Since ancient times, people have found ways to use the sun’s heat to stay warm or keep cool. They built homes from clay and other materials that hold heat ...

As the co-owner of a California property that has never been tied to the electric grid, I can attest to the warm feeling of self-sufficiency that comes with a functioning solar power system. We’ve ...

From a distance, the energy system on top of a college residence hall in Omaha, Nebraska looks like photovoltaic panels. But as you get closer, it becomes clear that this is something different, with ...

• Hot-water usage: Since the more hot water you use the more money you save with a solar heating system, large households will save a lot more by going solar. For example, a family of four will save a ...

Researchers outline a computer simulation model addressing the challenge of solar power's inherent intermittency by adding biomass as another renewable energy source to advance a reliable, affordable ...

Switch to solar with a system built for you. Solar thermal energy is the process of concentrating sunlight to generate heat, which can be used to generate electricity or heat a home, its water supply ...

Solar Brother has announced the launch of SunAéro, a solar heating system that heats and renews the air in rooms measuring 20 m² to 60 m². The system combines PV and thermal energy to heat, renew or ...

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand. The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called ...

Researchers have built a pilot-scale solar reactor that produces usable heat and oxygen, in addition to generating hydrogen with unprecedented efficiency for its size. A parabolic dish on the EPFL ...

Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it ...
