2. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

   Matrix Energy Inc. has patented a roof-mounted product called the "Delta", a modular, roof-mounted solar air heating system where south-, east-, or west-facing facades are simply not available. Each ten-foot (3.05 m) module will deliver 250 CFM (425 m3/h)of preheated fresh air typically providing annual energy savings of 1100 kWh (4 GJ) annually.

3. Storage water heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_water_heater

   Solar heat is clean and renewable. This is the most modern system. Increasingly, solar powered water heaters are being used. Their solar thermal collectors are installed outside dwellings, typically on the roof or walls or nearby, and the potable hot water storage tank is typically a pre-existing or new conventional water heater, or a water heater specifically designed for solar thermal.

4. Solar water heating - Wikipedia

   The controller must prevent stored hot water from this cooling effect. Evacuated tube collector arrays can be adjusted by removing/adding tubes or their heat pipes, allowing customization during/after installation. Above 45 degrees latitude, roof mounted sun-facing collectors tend to outproduce wall-mounted collectors.

5. Central solar heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_solar_heating

   Central solar heating is a sub-class of 'large-scale solar heating' systems - a term applied to systems with solar collector areas greater than 500 m 2. Aquifers, boreholes and artificial ponds (costing €30/m 3 ) are used as heat storage (up to 90% efficient) in some central solar heating plants, which later extract the heat (similar to ...

6. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

   Solar roof ponds for solar heating and cooling were developed by Harold Hay in the 1960s. A basic system consists of a roof-mounted water bladder with a movable insulating cover. This system can control heat exchange between interior and exterior environments by covering and uncovering the bladder between night and day.

7. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

   These systems require good drainage systems, movable insulation, and an enhanced structural system to support a 35 to 70 lb/ft 2 (1.7 to 3.3 kN/m 2) dead load. With the angles of incidence of sunlight during the day, roof ponds are only effective for heating at lower and mid-latitudes, in hot to temperate climates.
