Electrical Engineering

Variation on the flat-plate collector. The absorber is merely a pond of water, which can be fitted with a cover plate if desired. Upon exposure to solar radiotaion, the temperature of the water is raised by direct absorption of photons or by conduction from the absorbing tray which forms the bottom of the pond. Source: European Union. (references)
 An artificially enclosed body of water containing a stratified salt solution; solar energy can be stored as heat in the pond, as the stratified salt solution reduces heat losses. Source: European Union. (references)
