  2. Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophotovoltaic_energy...

    Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion. Thermophotovoltaic ( TPV) energy conversion is a direct conversion process from heat to electricity via photons. A basic thermophotovoltaic system consists of a hot object emitting thermal radiation and a photovoltaic cell similar to a solar cell but tuned to the spectrum being emitted from the hot object.

  3. Solar-powered Stirling engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_Stirling_engine

    NASA patented a type of solar-powered Stirling engine on August 3, 1976. It used solar energy to pump water from a river, lake, or stream. The purpose of this apparatus is to “provide a low-cost, low-technology pump having particular utility in irrigation systems employed in underdeveloped arid regions of the earth…[using] the basic principles of the Stirling heat engine“.

  4. Solar water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating

    Below is a table that gives a rough indication of the specifications and energy that could be expected from a solar water heating system involving some 2 m 2 of absorber area of the collector, demonstrating two evacuated tube and three flat plate solar water heating systems. Certification information or figures calculated from those data are used.

  6. Photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_thermal...

    PVT collectors combine photovoltaic solar cells (often arranged in solar panels ), which convert sunlight into electricity, with a solar thermal collector, which transfers the otherwise unused waste heat from the PV module to a heat transfer fluid. [1] By combining electricity and heat generation within the same component, these technologies ...

  7. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

    In passive solar building design, windows, walls, and floors are made to collect, store, reflect, and distribute solar energy, in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer. This is called passive solar design because, unlike active solar heating systems, it does not involve the use of mechanical and electrical devices. [1]
