These images show the device’s solar-thermal conversion (left ... or for the use of any information through the EurekAlert system.

Current research is focused on improving fundamental understanding of the process and optimal design of solar-thermal chemical reactors/receivers. Projects include CFD modeling of multi-tubular ...

Portal Space Systems has raised $17.5 million to accelerate the development of a space vehicle with a solar thermal ...

However, the relatively low solar-to-biomass energy-conversion efficiencies of natural photosynthesis — about one order of magnitude lower than existing solar-photovoltaic and solar-thermal ...

As solar installer Ben Zook explains: “Any system that uses a mechanical pump, an inverter, or other electrical conversion device ... “How well thermal mass works depends on its bulk ...

The aH72SK modules combine solar panels with power conversion ... allows system owners and installers to visualize information such as CO2 emissions. The Zaragoza-based photovoltaic-thermal ...

Instead, the MOST component of the hybrid device acts like a cooling system, thereby saving solar energy from losing its energy conversion efficiency. Initial experimental analysis shows that MOST ...

As the electrons flow through the cell, they generate electricity. On a much larger scale, solar-thermal power plants employ various techniques to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source.
