6 FAQs about [Solar power generation and heating device]

What is solar heating?

Solar heating is the application of solar thermal energy collected by solar thermal collectors to heating needs. According to the different methods of collecting solar energy, it is classified into the active and passive types. The main judgment is based on whether external driving force is needed. Two heating systems are introduced below.

What is solar water heating?

Solar heating systems are widely applied to residential and industrial buildings. Based on the operational temperature, solar heating system can be applied to different fields. For solar water heating, most researches still focus on improving the efficiency of hot water systems including collectors, heat storage systems and heat exchangers.

Can a molecular solar thermal energy storage system be a hybrid device?

Two main issues are (1) PV systems’ efficiency drops by 10%–25% due to heating, requiring more land area, and (2) current storage technologies, like batteries, rely on unsustainably sourced materials. This paper proposes a hybrid device combining a molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage system with PV cell.

What is a hybrid solar thermal/photovoltaic power generation system?

The hybrid solar thermal/photovoltaic power generation systems can make use of full range of solar wavelengths and thus enable achieving a higher overall solar efficiency, compared to the photovoltaic systems which make use of short wavelengths of solar light.

Can a solar heat pipe collector be combined with thermoelectric modules?

The combination of a solar heat pipe collector with thermoelectric modules could provide a very useful device for simultaneous power generation and hot water heating. Such hybrid systems could offer small, mobile, transportable and off-grid power and heating systems for small-scale industry or domestic applications.

What is solar energy?

Solar energy is a renewable energy heat source freely and widely available everywhere worldwide and throughout the year. Solar applications can be classified under the headings of solar thermal or solar photovoltaic (PV). Numerous texts are available on the subject of solar energy [1, 2].
