Solar towers let you reclaim the land for agriculture or, indeed, any other use you like. A solar tower gets you a free greenhouse for producing whatever crop you like, as well as a whole load of ...

The system was simulated with MATLAB software. The PV modules generated electricity for the power pump and the HP, while the ...

"We are laying the foundation." Researchers make game-changing solar-thermal gains with mirror technology: 'A viable pathway' first appeared on The Cool Down.

Researchers in Jordan and Qatar have come up with a remarkable design for a "twin technology solar system" capable of generating clean energy 24/7. This double-action design promises more than ...

Image: Silicon Ranch A Chinese-Swedish research team has developed an energy system that is claimed to be able to store solar energy as chemical energy for up to 18 years.

A new plant that uses an array of mirrors to direct sunlight towards a solar reactor on top of a tower could be a promising approach. "We are the first to demonstrate the entire thermochemical process ...

Back in 2017 we caught wind of an interesting energy system designed to store solar power in liquid form for years at a time. By hooking it up to an ultra-thin thermoelectric generator, the team ...

Modeling and assessment of a novel solar-biomass based distributed multi-generation system. Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, 2022; 14 (3): 036301 DOI: 10.1063/5.0085305 ...

Solar thermal propulsion looked like the best option. “It’s taken me back to my SpaceX Raptor days, where we can move fast and break things, and iterate more quickly,” he said.
