2. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

   In an isolated gain passive solar system, the components (e.g., collector and thermal storage) are isolated from the indoor area of the building. [20] An attached sunspace , also sometimes called a solar room or solarium , is a type of isolated gain solar system with a glazed interior space or room that is part of or attached to a building but ...

3. Photovoltaic system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_system

   A photovoltaic system, also called a PV system or solar power system, is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics.It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to convert the output from direct to alternating current, as well as mounting, cabling, and ...

4. Thermal energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_energy_storage

   One example of an experimental storage system based on chemical reaction energy is the salt hydrate technology. The system uses the reaction energy created when salts are hydrated or dehydrated. It works by storing heat in a container containing 50% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. Heat (e.g. from using a solar collector) is stored by ...

5. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

   The advantage of solar thermal is that the heated water can be stored until it is needed, eliminating the need for a separate energy storage system. [1] Solar thermal power can also be converted to electricity by using the steam generated from the heated water to drive a turbine connected to a generator.

6. Rooftop solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooftop_solar_power

   A rooftop solar power system, or rooftop PV system, is a photovoltaic (PV) system that has its electricity -generating solar panels mounted on the rooftop of a residential or commercial building or structure. [1] The various components of such a system include photovoltaic modules, mounting systems, cables, solar inverters battery storage ...

7. Energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_storage

   Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time [1] to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery. Energy comes in multiple forms including radiation, chemical, gravitational potential, electrical potential ...
