A British-Chinese research group has developed a novel heat pump concept consisting of a heat pump, the PCM tank, and tube solar heat collectors. Intended for demand shifting in space heating and ...

Solar panels aren’t exactly pros at handling the sun. Sounds backward, but excess heat can be a big problem for solar panels.

With the Trump administration back in the White House, investors would believe that renewable energy would be a losing game under the “Drill, baby, drill” policies. Trump’s efforts to revoke Biden-era ...

After a cyber attack or natural disaster, a backup network of decentralized devices -- like residential solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles, heat pumps, and water heaters -- could restore ...

Essentially, it allows the water heater to get much hotter during times when solar energy is available, and lets it drop to lower values before running the heater on utility electricity during ...

As solar deployment accelerates in markets where high ambient temperatures are the norm, researchers across the globe continue to experiment with new approaches to cooling PV modules. A cost-efficient ...

Here are two solar stocks heating up for an industry rebound. A weakness of solar panels (photovoltaic panels) angled in one stationary position in fixed-tilt systems is their inefficiency when ...

In this case, though, the solar energy is also used to heat the water which drastically improves the performance of the electrochemical process. A holistic approach also maximises the economic ...
