Scientists at the University of Padova in Italy have built a residential heat pump prototype that utilizes an air-finned coil heat exchanger or photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) solar collectors as the ...

At Absolicon’s factory in Härnösand, Sweden, the degree of automation has increased production drastically. Where previously ...

“For the solar-assisted heat pump hot water system, the evaporator is the flat-plate solar thermal collector while for the air-source heat pump water heater, the evaporator is a low-temperature ...

Solar storage tanks must be well-insulated. They have outlets and inlets that connect to and from the solar collector. In one-tank systems, a backup heater and solar heater are located in a single ...

When water flows through your system, it absorbs thermal energy produced by the collector panels, and its temperature increases. Solar water heating systems require zero energy consumption.

A solar water heater is an efficient way to get hot water in your home and lower your bills. Learn how the equipment works and how much it costs in our guide.

With solar panels or collectors installed on your roof, you can take advantage of the natural energy source that fuels and sustains our entire planet — the sun -- to heat your water. Its energy is ...

New research from the University of Nottingham has highlighted how Photovoltaic Thermal (PVT) systems could be made more ...

The federal government will tip more than $17 million into what it said will be Australia’s first commercial concentrated ...

billed by its creators as ‘the UK’s largest solar heat project’, comprises 950 ‘solar collectors’ across 712.5 m2 of the library’s roof space and will generate 216 MWh of energy ...

Another technique uses moveable mirrors to focus the sun's rays on a collector tower ... plates on a roof can heat liquid in tubes that supply a house with hot water. Solar energy is lauded ...
