Renewable Energy: Using Solar Energy to Heat Your Home
A Review of Solar Technology
Solar energy is no new concept. In fact, for hundreds even thousands of years people have been finding ways to use energy from the sun to make life better. For example, ancient Roman bathhouses used solar radiation to warm water. Romans and Greeks also used passive solar architecture to heat their homes throughout the year. In 1676, Swiss scientist Horace de Saussure invented the first solar collector which was used ...

Solar Water Distiller -- Solar Still Plans
Solar Water Distiller -- Solar Water Purification
In my research of green energy technology, I stumbled across something interesting called the solar water distiller, or solar still. Solar energy is having an explosion of new technology projects, but the solar water distiller isn't one of the advances. The main reason is probably because the solar water distiller isn't really a solar energy system. It uses the energy of the sun and hence “solar” ...
