“You stand in the sun on a cold winter day, you feel the warmth – put that warmth into water, you have got solar thermal energy,” describes Christophe Williams, co-founder and CEO of Naked Energy. “It ...

Thermal energy storage is pretty great, as phase-change energy storage is very consistent with its energy output over time, ...

Researchers in Australia are working on a way to lower the cost of producing solar thermal energy by as much as 40% with the help of shatterproof rear-view mirrors originally designed for cars. That ...

A newly engineered molecule acts like a “rechargeable” solar heat battery, storing sunlight and releasing it on demand.

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 7 - Affordable and clean energy. Solar thermal energy systems harness the sun's power to generate heat for various applications, ...

PV-thermal energy with heat pumps, aquifer thermal storage in buildings Researchers in the Netherlands have simulated a residential energy system combining PV, solar thermal, and PV-thermal panels ...

A new energy innovation could transform how Kern County powers its future—by turning old oil and gas reservoirs into clean, ...

Harvard engineers have built a solar harvester that automatically toggles between producing heat and generating electricity ...

A team from several universities have created a new molecule inspired by our own DNA that can store sunlight for years and ...

Curved molecules that absorb sunlight, store the energy, and re-release it as heat are pushing the boundaries in solar thermal storage technology. The anthracene systems, derived from a by-product of ...

EU-funded researchers are looking to hot air to overcome the supply and demand issues faced by solar energy and ease the clean energy transition. As the world shifts toward renewable energy, one major ...
