Parabolic trough solar collectors (PTCs) remain at the forefront of concentrated solar power technologies, converting solar irradiance into high-grade thermal energy through a curved reflective ...

Solar collectors and absorbers convert solar radiation into thermal energy, playing a crucial role in meeting global heating demands across various sectors.

Startup GMZ Energy raises $14 million to make materials that convert heat to electricity, including a solar hot thermal product and chips to draw electricity from car exhaust pipes. Martin LaMonica is ...

Italian researchers have reviewed different system configurations for photovoltaic-thermal solar-assisted heat pumps in buildings. They say that using the PV-thermal collector as the heat pump’s ...

The black absorbers of parabolic-trough solar collectors are surrounded by borosilicate glass tubes in the focal line of the reflector. These tubes reflect a total of about eight per cent of the ...

LNG, solar collectors improve round-trip efficiency of LAES systems Scientists simulated several liquid air energy storage systems, comparing round-trip efficiency across configurations that include ...
