The proposed system combines a solar thermal plant based on parabolic trough collectors (PTCs) connected to water storage and a photovoltaic facility coupled to a sand-based high-temperature heat ...

Parabolic reflectors for solar applications are nice stuff, and making your own is a great project in itself. One of the easiest ways we have seen is that of [GREENPOWERSCIENCE], who uses nothing ...

BarcelonaTech (UPC) in Spain have designed hybrid solar cells that can generate electricity and store it onboard. This is the ...

Parabolic reflectors are pretty handy devices ... But a big, shiny mirror for your solar death-ray needs is another matter, which is where this pressure-formed space blanket mirror might come ...

and parabolic trough collectors (PTCs), enhancing the efficiency of solar energy conversion. Evaluate the energetic, exergetic, economic and environmental performance of integrated CPV/T and pumped ...
