Aerogel-based solar thermal receivers [PDF]
Nano Energy, 2017 Abstract In any solar thermal application, such as solar space heating, solar hot water for domestic or industrial use, concentrating solar power, or solar air conditioning, a solar receiver converts incident sunlight into heat. In order to be efficient, the receiver must ideally absorb the entire solar spectrum while losing relatively little heat ...

A Hybrid Electric and Thermal Solar Receiver [PDF]
Joule, 2018 Summary Solar energy offers a promising renewable energy source; however, it is expensive to store electricity from photovoltaics (PV), the most widely deployed solar electricity technology. Solar thermal energy technologies can be paired with inexpensive thermal storage, but are more expensive overall. We have developed a solar receiver that combines

A simple analytical thermal model of solar cavity receivers [PDF]
Thermal Science and Engineering Progress, 2022 This article presents a closed form analytical solution to estimate solar receiver surface and fluid temperatures. An approximation and its domain of validity (in term of the value of a small parameter) are also proposed. These simple models are then applied to a large and a small cylindrical cavity.
