Linked from

The 13 pages that link to Solar thermal energy, each with the reason it gives.

• Solar irradianceRelated: Solar irradiance determines the heat a collector can capture.

• Energy storageRelated: Thermal stores can retain collected solar heat for use after sunlight fades.

• Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiationRelated: Collectors balance solar absorption against thermal emission to retain useful heat.

• Stirling engineRelated: Concentrated sunlight can supply the engine’s hot-side heat input.

• Solar energyRelated: It captures sunlight as heat rather than converting it directly into electrical current.

• Sodium nitrateRelated: Molten nitrate salts, including sodium nitrate mixtures, store heat in some concentrated solar plants.

• SunlightRelated: Collectors can concentrate or absorb sunlight to heat water and buildings.
