Nexol Photovolthermic AG has developed a new hybrid solar water heater for residential use, offering 1.5 kW of heating output and sizes ranging from 80 to 300 liters.

A groundbreaking innovation can fully recycle modern solar panels using water, which would make it a truly sustainable energy ...

Members of Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Electricity and Energy uniformly condemned the waste at the Department of ...

The National Solar Water Heater Programme has squandered R324. 8 million on storage costs alone, with thousands of units left ...

The heated fluid is then used to boil water for steam, which turns a steam turbine. The steam turbine then drives a generator, producing electricity. Solar heating uses solar collecting panels ...

The details of the system are available in the study “Thermo-economic analysis of a solar district heating plant with an air-to-water heat pump,” published in Renewable Energy. This content is ...

The recent icy temperatures sweeping across the island brought an additional not-often-faced consequence of damages to uninsulated pipes and rooftop solar water heating panels. “Local ...

In colder climates, snow and ice will briefly decrease the efficiency of solar panels by obstructing sunlight. Most panels ...

On a much larger scale, solar-thermal power plants employ various techniques to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source. The heat is then used to boil water to drive a steam turbine that ...

In fact, some houses have hot water solar panels and they use the sun to heat the water you shower in. But Sol is a different, even cleverer type of solar technology, called solar cells.
