Heating with solar cells and zeolite – Long-term storage Researchers at the University of Stuttgart in Germany are set to test a solar heating system with long-term storage capabilities as part of the “Solspaces”, a three-year programme launched in March 2012. The system is based on a solarthermal system operating in conjunction with a sorption tank, where the heat collected by the solar cells during the warmer months is stored until it is used when temperatures drop. The Solspaces concept can help reduce the storage space required for solar thermal systems and effectively address the issue of retaining heat for ... Read more
