Solar thermal energy — Solar thermal system for water heating in Santorini, Greece … Wikipedia
Solar thermal rocket — Solar thermal propulsion is a form of spacecraft propulsion that makes use of solar power to directly heat reaction mass, and therefore does not require an electrical generator as most other forms of solar powered propulsion do. A solar thermal… … Wikipedia
Solar thermal collector — A solar thermal collector is a solar collector specifically intended to collect heat: that is, to absorb sunlight to provide heat. Although the term may be applied to simple solar hot water panels, it is usually used to denote more complex… … Wikipedia
Solar thermal collector — A device designed to receive solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy. Normally, a solar thermal collector includes a frame, glazing, and an absorber, together with appropriate insulation. The heat collected by the solar collector may… … Energy terms
Solar Thermal Parabolic Dishes — A solar thermal technology that uses a modular mirror system that approximates a parabola and incorporates two axis tracking to focus the sunlight onto receivers located at the focal point of each dish. The mirror system typically is made from… … Energy terms
Solar thermal parabolic dishes — A solar thermal technology that uses a modular mirror system that approximates a parabola and incorporates two axis tracking to focus the sunlight onto receivers located at the focal point of each dish. The mirror system typically is made from… … Energy terms
Solar Thermal Electric Systems — Solar energy conversion technologies that convert solar energy to electricity, by heating a working fluid to power a turbine that drives a generator. Examples of these systems include central receiver systems, parabolic dish, and solar trough … Energy terms
Solar Thermal Systems — Solar energy systems that collect or absorb solar energy for useful purposes. Can be used to generate high temperature heat (for electricity production and/or process heat), medium temperature heat (for process and space/water heating and… … Energy terms
Solar Thermal Electric — A process that generates electricity by converting incoming solar radiation to thermal energy … Energy terms
Solar thermal panels — A system that actively concentrates thermal energy from the sun by means of solar collector panels. The panels typically consist of fat, sun oriented boxes with transparent covers, containing water tubes of air baffles under a blackened heat… … Energy terms
Solar thermal power plant — means a thermal powerplant in which 75 percent or more of the total energy output is from solar energy and the use of backup fuels, such as oil, natural gas, and coal, does not, in the aggregate, exceed 25 percent of the total energy input of… … Energy terms
