We also installed roof jacks (to hold up the solar array) and then a new composite shingle roof. Finally, in July, we put in a whole-house cooling fan and whole-house heat-recirculating system (as ...

Researchers in Italy have designed a novel carbon dioxide heat pump that can work with photovoltaic-thermal energy, a finned coil heat exchanger and a U-tube borehole heat exchanger. Their experiment ...

Geothermal systems use the sustained temperature of the ground to heat or cool a home. A ground loop system absorbs heat energy (BTUs) from the earth so that it can be transferred to a heat pump ...

As well as reducing domestic home heating bills, the MiniStor system could even reduce ... heat pumps and domestic solar panels, to achieve a future with clean and affordable energy for all'.

Energy-efficiency and clean energy projects like insulation, solar, and heat pumps can bring you thousands in federal and state tax credits and incentives.

You might also look into different ways that you can heat your home. We mentioned all-electric systems supported by solar panels above, but there are also heat pumps instead of furnaces.

Depending on the type of consumer solar panels, the technology can power your home's security system, store energy in batteries for portable electricity, and even heat your pool. Yes, you read ...

German heating specialist Vaillant and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) have presented a new heat pump concept at the ISH Frankfurt trade fair this week. “The ...
