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 ...

Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial ...

Scientists at U.C. Santa Barbara have developed a new kind of “liquid battery” that can capture sunlight and release it later as heat, a breakthrough researchers say could help solve one of renewable ...

A team of chemists at UC Santa Barbara has developed a liquid compound that absorbs ultraviolet sunlight, locks that energy into its molecular bonds for months, and then releases it as heat on command ...

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 ...

A group of researchers from MIT World Peace University in India has conducted an extensive review of all direct expansion solar heat pump (DX-SHP) technology for domestic heating applications like ...

When the sun goes down, solar panels stop working. This is the fundamental hurdle of renewable energy: how to save the sun's power for a rainy day—or a cold night. Chemists at UC Santa Barbara have ...

The Thriamvos company truck pulls up at noon outside the four-storey building in the heart of Nicosia. It’s the third rooftop installation of a solar-powered water heating system that Petros Mihali ...
