Abstract
Onsite generation of renewable energy can significantly reduce the environmental impact of a building [1]. Small solar power plants with thermal energy storage can support all the energy demands of residential houses in countries with a hot, arid climate. In countries with a cold climate, such as Canada and Russia, solar energy can still provide a significant part (sometimes more than half) of the energy consumed by a residential house. This book’s researchers developed prototypes for flat facet solar concentrators that approximate a parabolic-shaped surface and described them in the earlier chapters. They also proposed and patented a low-cost method for parabolic surface adjustment. Rough estimations show that concentrators of this type can be very inexpensive (US$20–30 m−2). On the basis of these concentrators and small-scale thermal energy storage, it is possible to make power plants for green buildings.
