The main focus of this review is to investigate the potential of small-scale solar desalination
as a viable freshwater source by comparing the performance of different types of …

The setting of operational parameters plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance of
solar-heat pump heating systems. However, these parameter settings are typically kept …

The need for installation of Solar Water heater is increasing in society because of several
factors such as rapid urbanization, government interventions, low cost of installations, and …

Solar desalination is a renewable energy-driven method that produces freshwater from
saline/brackish water. Conventional solar desalination units are equipped with an inclined …

This paper describes the design methodology for a novel Fresnel lens. The original Fresnel
lens is obtained from a plano-convex lens, whose spherical surface is split into a number of …

This paper proposes a solar collector that utilizes supercritical CO2 as the working fluid to
detect implicit water heating and boost the collector's heating rate efficiency. Solar water …

The Fresnel lens is an optical system consisting of a series of concentric diamond grooves.
One surface of the lens is smooth, while the other is engraved with concentric circles of …

Dust deposition causes a significant loss of performance of a high-concentration
photovoltaic thermal (HCPV/T) system. In this paper, the influence of dust deposition on the …

In this paper, thermal-fluid modeling of nonporous/porous thermal coil filled by alumina
nanofluid is discussed considering constant/variable solar heat fluxes. The fluxes are …

Abstract The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has been conducting
exposure experiments on solar reflectors for over four decades. Thousands of mirror …
