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 ...

Switch to solar with a system built for you. A solar pool heater uses a pump, a solar collector and piping in conjunction with your existing pool filter. The process is simple: The pump takes water ...

We may hear a lot about photovoltaic panels, but solar collectors are also quite useful – the devices collect heat from sunlight, which is used in applications such as the heating of homes. Now, MIT ...

What if you could harness the power of the sun to generate your own energy—right in your backyard? Imagine a system so efficient it could heat water, power small appliances, or even serve as a backup ...

(Nanowerk News) A newly developed material that is so perfectly transparent you can barely see it could unlock many new uses for solar heat. It generates much higher temperatures than conventional ...

Solar heat collectors can provide heat for a range of users – homes, offices, industrial processes – and to power cooling systems. Heat can also be stored for later use, while hybrid PVT systems offer ...

A group of researchers in Iran has analyzed the coefficient of performance and the energy consumption of a solar-assisted heat pumps and an air-source heat pumps and has found that three factors are ...
