http://activesolarhomes.blogspot.com/2007/03/how-solar-collectors-work.html
Active Solar Energy for Homes. Renewable Energy Global Alliance. How Solar Collectors Work. This home in Nevada has an integral collector storage (ICS) system to provide hot water. Solar collectors are the key component of active solar-heating systems. Solar collectors gather the sun's energy, transform its radiation into heat, then transfer that heat to water, solar fluid, or air. The solar thermal energy can be used in. There are several types of solar collectors:. Unglazed solar collectors typically u...

http://activesolarhomes.blogspot.com/2007/03/solar-lighting-basics.html
Active Solar Energy for Homes. Renewable Energy Global Alliance. Active Solar for Lighting. Solar hybrid lighting system. Research under way at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) could lead to entirely new, highly energy-efficient ways of lighting buildings using the power of sunlight. This new technology, called Hybrid Solar Lighting, (HSL) would use sunlight to simultaneously light interior spaces and generate electricity. In a solar lighting and power system, the roof-mounted concentrators collect s...
