31Heat pump — A heat pump is a machine or device that moves heat from one location (the source ) to another location (the sink or heat sink ), using work. Most heat pump technology moves heat from a low temperature heat source to a higher temperature heat sink …
32Solar humidification — The solar humidification dehumidification method (HDH) is a thermal desalination method. It is based on evaporation of sea water or brackish water and consecutive condensation of the generated humid air, mostly at ambient pressure. This process… …
33Solar power by country — Nellis Solar Power Plant at Nellis Air Force Base in the USA. These panels track the sun in one axis. The development of solar power by country depends on national economic incentives more than insolation.[1] Many industrialized nations are… …
34Solar tracker — A solar tracker is a device for orienting a solar photovoltaic panel or concentrating solar reflector or lens toward the sun. The sun s position in the sky varies both with the seasons (elevation) and time of day as the sun moves across the sky.… …
35solar house — noun a house designed to use solar radiation for heating; usually has large areas of glass in front of heat absorbing materials • Hypernyms: ↑house * * * noun : a house equipped with glass areas and so planned as to utilize the sun s rays… …
36solar house — n. house that heat absorbing material behind large glass areas to absorb and store solar heat …
37solar house — a house designed to absorb and store solar heat. Also called solar home. * * * …
38Solar heating — is the usage of solar energy to provide process, space or water heating. See also Solar thermal energy. The heating of water is covered in solar hot water. Solar heating design is divided into two groups: * Active solar heating uses pumps which… …
39Solar hot water in Australia — Solar hot water is heated using natural energy from the sun. Solar energy heats up large panels called thermal collectors. The energy is transferred through a fluid (often water) to a reservoir tank for storage and subsequent use. It is then used …
40Solar thermal rocket — Solar thermal propulsion is a form of spacecraft propulsion that makes use of solar power to directly heat reaction mass, and therefore does not require an electrical generator as most other forms of solar powered propulsion do. A solar thermal… …
