Switch to solar with a system built for you. Since ancient times, people have found ways to use the sun’s heat to stay warm or keep cool. They built homes from clay and other materials that hold heat ...

An international research team has developed a novel solar-air dual-source heat pump (SAHP) for water heating applications. The system's innovation lies in using a blower fan that enables forced ...

DOI: Economics of Grid-Tied Solar Photovoltaic Systems Coupled to Heat Pumps: The Case of Northern Climates of the U.S. and Canada Two new Michigan Tech studies show how heating with electric heat ...

There are two main schools of thought when it comes to solar power. The first involves using solar cells that create an electric current when sunlight strikes the layers of semiconductor material. The ...

Instead of accepting federal fuel subsidies, Jason Edens bought a solar heater. And now his organization is buying them for people all over the country. Novel Energy Efficient Window Cools in Summer, ...

While generating green energy, solar panels usually create excess heat that goes unused. But with a new, innovative design, scientists have found a way to harness those precious leftovers to give the ...

Passive solar architecture is a design strategy that optimizes a building’s energy efficiency and long-term sustainability. By relying on a building site’s solar orientation and climate, sustainable ...

Switch to solar with a system built for you. There isn’t a strict definition for what makes a home "solar" — it just has to use energy from the sun in some capacity. If you’re building a new home, it ...

A British-Swedish research team has reviewed all models for designing and simulating solar-powered heat pumps systems of various complexities. Based on this work, the scientists proposed a new method ...

MARTHA’S VINEYARD, MA — Nelson Mechanical Design installed a 20-collector solar hot water drain back system to provide pool heat, radiant floor heating, and domestic hot water pre-heat for a customer.
