Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial ...

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand. The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called ...

The novel heat pump concept combines solar energy with chemical storage and reportedly consume 75% less electricity than conventional heat pumps. The system relies on a battery and a heat storage tank ...

Solar energy has been around for a long time now, which means it's become much more accessible to normal homeowners. With solar panels or collectors installed on your roof, you can take advantage of ...

Researchers from China have proposed to combine solar-air source heat pumps (SASHP) with sand-based thermal floor storage in rural clean heating renovation projects. “In rural areas where economic ...

A team of chemists at UC Santa Barbara has developed a liquid compound that absorbs ultraviolet sunlight, locks that energy into its molecular bonds for months, and then releases it as heat on command ...

When it comes to renewable energy at home, solar panels are often the first option that comes to mind, leaving homeowners with the choice between monocrystalline or polycrystalline solar panels, and ...

The Thriamvos company truck pulls up at noon outside the four-storey building in the heart of Nicosia. It’s the third rooftop installation of a solar-powered water heating system that Petros Mihali ...

Federal tax credits for residential solar panels, batteries and heat pumps expired, eliminating incentives that previously saved homeowners thousands of dollars. Emerging lease-to-own models and ...
