To further increase thermal resistance, we decided to replace the roof and upgrade our attic insulation. In March, we removed the 4-kW solar array as well as the existing, substandard roof tiles.

And come next year, when Ivanpah flips the on switch, it will nearly double the amount of solar thermal energy produced in the United States. Mark Strauss | | Read More ...

Officials say the solar array will help power a water treatment plant, which will reduce energy costs and should help the city keep water rates down. “We’re not just doing it because it’s th ...

Technicians with ESA (European Space Agency) and Airbus installed the four solar array wings on NASA's Orion spacecraft for Artemis II on March 3. The solar array wings, attached to the service ...

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.

The solar array wings, attached to the service module, deploy after Orion reaches space to power the spacecraft. Orion's ...

Concentrated solar thermal uses arrays of mirrors, called heliostats, which direct sunlight to a single receiver set atop a tower. That energy heats a liquid piped in behind the receiver – in ...

The researchers have proposed a new energy system consisting of a PV array, an electric ... in residential buildings by using solar-assisted heat pumps and thermal and electrical storage ...

It deployed the floating array on a reservoir near Huaneng Power's 2.65 GW Dezhou thermal power station. It built the solar plant in two phases with capacities of 200 MW and 120 MW, respectively.

The Santa Clara University campus is currently home to photovoltaics, solar thermal systems, and a wind turbine. SCU is on course to install a smart microgrid, which maximizes energy savings by tying ...
