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 ...

In the U.S., energy consumption for water heating is 19% of residential, 23% of lodging, and 11% of health care energy use (EIA, 2018). Despite this high consumption, the total energy provided by ...

Given that it typically gets hottest outside when the sunlight is most direct, it would make sense to have air conditioners that were powered by the thermal energy from solar rays. Unfortunately, ...

The Smart 10, 15, and 20 solar thermal collectors are designed for use in hot-water, radiant home heat, and swimming pool heating applications. They are engineered to withstand hailstones up to 1-inch ...

A US-Mexican research team has investigated how linking heat pumps with solar thermal collectors may help reduce the surface needed to deploy the collectors themselves. The scientists found the ...

Researchers have created a device to produce electricity and steam at the same time. The system is said to offer 85.1% efficiency and deliver steam at up to 248 degrees Celsius. The converter combines ...

Startup GMZ Energy raises $14 million to make materials that convert heat to electricity, including a solar hot thermal product and chips to draw electricity from car exhaust pipes. Martin LaMonica is ...

Princeton University will become a leader in American higher education in solar energy when it installs a 5.3-megawatt solar collector field on 27 acres it owns in West Windsor Township. The system, ...

A new integrated energy platform using multiple renewable energy sources has been successfully developed and tested, enabling energy independence and carbon reduction in agriculture. Compared to ...
