Solar updraft tower — This article is about a type of power plant. For other uses, see Solar tower (disambiguation). Schematic presentation of a Solar updraft tower The solar updraft tower is a renewable energy power plant. It combines the chimney effect, the… … Wikipedia
Solar hot water — is water heated by the use of solar energy. Solar heating systems are generally composed of solar thermal collectors, a fluid system to move the heat from the collector to its point of usage. The system may use electricity for pumping the fluid,… … Wikipedia
Solar collector — A solar collector is a device for extracting the energy of the sun not indirectly into a more usable or storable form. The energy in sunlight is in the form of electromagnetic radiation from the infrared (long) to the ultraviolet (short)… … 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
Passive Solar Heater — A solar water or space heating system in which solar energy is collected, and/or moved by natural convection without using pumps or fans. Passive systems are typically integral collector/storage (ICS; or batch collectors) or thermosyphon… … Energy terms
Annualized geo solar — is a structure heating technique combining Summer time capture of solar warmth, deposit and storage of that heat in insulation buffered sub structure soil, and, after a designed in conductive thermal lag of 6 months, radiational return of a… … Wikipedia
Thermosiphon — (alt. thermosyphon) refers to a method of passive heat exchange based on natural convection which circulates liquid in a vertical closed loop circuit without requiring a conventional pump. Its intended purpose is to simplify the pumping of liquid … Wikipedia
Barra system — The Barra system is a passive solar building technology developed by Horazio Barra in Italy. It uses a collector wall to capture solar radiation in the form of heat. It also uses the thermosiphon effect to distribute the warmed air through… … Wikipedia
