In the U.S., energy consumption for water heating is 19% of residential, 23% of lodging, and 11% of health care energy use (EIA, 2018). Despite this high consumption, the total energy provided by ...

Integrating solar thermal systems with gas heating systems at two detention facilities—while both jails remained fully operational—was a sophisticated yet simple project designed with few moving parts ...

SunWater Solar has announced the completion of a solar water-heating system installed at a Housing Authority of the City of Alameda building on Park Street in Alameda, California. March 9, 2011 2 min ...

A US-Mexican research team has investigated how linking heat pumps with solar thermal collectors may help reduce the surface needed to deploy the collectors themselves. The scientists found the ...

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 ...

Heat from the solar collectors is distributed through a radiant floor heating system using PEX tubing running through aluminium heat spreader plates. A hot water baseboard heating system is another ...

Honolulu-based Sopogy Inc. today unveiled the latest version of its patented solar thermal technology that generates energy from the sun’s rays more efficiently than the company’s previous systems.

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 ...

Engineer Fabienne Sallaberry has calculated the losses sustained by solar thermal collectors, devices that convert the sun's energy into useful heat, when one of their components is not correctly ...
