By: Carolyn Clayton | 2011-06-13 | Home improvement Solar PV (Photovoltaic) is a form of renewable energy which is a great way to dramatically cut your electricity bills and actually earn money from selling the energy you don't use back to the grid. read more
By: Web Works Internet | 2010-12-03 | Tools and equipment Solar panels use the power in both direct and diffused sunlight, converting the energy into heat, to produce hot water for the home. A well-sized solar panel system could provide up to 60% of your annual hot water requirements. read more
By: Sallie Obin | 2011-01-10 | Home improvement Solar technologies have been improving and well known globally. Many people are starting to invest on these solar technologies. One of these convenient technology is the solar hot water heating. Although it's the least promoted, it is rather the most cost-efficient solar technology. read more
By: EnviroCitizen | 2010-09-20 | Science Solar thermal energy refers to using solar energy (the renewable energy generated from the sun) for thermal uses. This energy is completely renewable, which could solve worldwide energy problems. It is important to keep in mind that solar thermal energy generates a different kind of energy than photovoltaics. Solar thermal energy is harnessed through low, medium, and high solar collectors. Each applies the concept of thermal energy generation in various ways. read more
By: Edward Herniak | 2010-10-12 | Business As the only 2-axis commercial scale solar thermal concentrator on the market, Solarbeam is the only solar thermal collector designed to produce solar hot water at high temperatures (above 55°C) in a wide range of climates, all day, all year around. read more

By: Edmund E. Taylor | 2010-04-01 | Interior design Solar thermal technology, lesser known than it's electricity generating cousin, is the conversion of solar energy into thermal energy. The technology is generally separated into three distinct classes; high-, medium-, and low-temperature collection. Each class has it's own set of applications, ranging from low-temperature systems for heating swimming pools to high-temperature systems employed in solar thermal power plants. read more
By: Dr. Ben | 2011-01-19 | Science As I was working on a recent F-Chart analysis for an upcoming project, I decided to graphically show how the output of individual collectors drops as the solar fraction increases for solar hot ... read more
By: Benjamin Tan | 2010-03-28 | Interior design There are many reasons that make solar energy desirable in our generation nowadays. In most states and countries in the world, new homes are having solar panels pre-installed before you buy it. But how does solar energy work? This is a question that has been asked by a lot of interested buyers. It is quite simple really. This article explains how it works. read more
By: EnviroCitizen | 2010-09-17 | Science Geothermal energy is energy derived from the heat stored in the earth. This is very different from thermal energy, which is energy that manifests itself from a change in temperature. Geothermal energy originates from the original formation of the planet, as well as from the absorption of solar energy which is absorbed at the surface of the earth. Geothermal energy is currently used for generating electricity. read more
By: Grantuk | 2011-01-26 | Electronics As the days go by, the current sources of energy are depleting rapidly and a day might come when they are completely exhausted. Therefore the need calls for some inexhaustible sources if energy which can help the people and solar thermal energy does exactly that. read more

By: jade | 2011-07-12 | Bath showers Using the sun's energy to heat water is one of the oldest ways to generate hot water. It is a widely used technology in sunny climates, but recent technological progress makes it a viable and cost effective solution even for northern European markets. Solar thermal collectors are the most eco-friendly way to heat your domestic water for your shower, bath or your kitchen. read more
