A modular inliner assembly can be used in a centrifugal particle receiver to facilitate the formation of a particle film. The modular inliner assembly may include a plurality of inliner tiles coupled to a rotating shell of the centrifugal particle receiver. Each inliner tile may include an inliner panel and a spacer extending from the inliner panel to the shell. An insulation module may be disposed between the inliner panels and the shell. A protection module may be disposed between the inliner panel and the insulation module to reduce wear of the insulation module. The top surface of each inliner panel can include surface features such as recessed slots. Two opposing ends of the inliner panel may include non-linear edges. The non-linear edge pattern on each of the two opposing ends may be different. A consistent gap between inliner panels can be maintained between the non-linear edges.

A solar thermal collector and an accessory structure of a building are provided. The solar thermal collector includes at least one heat absorbing plate and at least one heat insulating plate. Each of the heat absorbing plate includes at least one first slab and first engaging parts connected with the first slab. Each of the heat insulating plate includes at least one second slab and second engaging parts connected with the second slab. The first engaging parts are respectively engaged with the second engaging parts, and a gap is maintained between the first slab and the second slab to define a heat collecting channel, through which a heat transfer medium flows between the heat absorbing plate and the heat insulating plate. A heat conductivity of the heat absorbing plate is at least 30 times greater than a heat conductivity of the heat insulating plate.

To overcome shortcomings of the conventional thermal receiver, embodiments of the technology disclosed herein are directed towards an improved thermal receiver. More particularly, the various embodiments of the technology disclosed herein relate to thermal receivers without a vacuum insulation, otherwise known as an approximation of a blackbody. Various embodiments of the technology disclosed herein enable greater absorption of sunlight collected by a parabolic solar trough concentrator compared with conventional thermal receivers.

A thermal insulation composite for thermally insulating a solar tower includes at least one thermal insulation layer and at least one thermally expandable layer is disclosed. Further disclosed is a solar tower and a solar thermal energy generation system including the thermal insulation composite. The solar thermal energy generation system uses concentrated solar energy to produce electrical energy.

The method is for using solar power in an efficient manner. A solar concentrator is provided in operative engagement with a storage unit. The storage unit has at least one glass rod disposed therein and at least one sheet enclosing the storage unit. The solar concentrator receives solar power as sunrays and conveys the solar power to the glass rod disposed in the storage unit. The solar power is in the glass rod is converted to heat to heat to the storage unit. Gas flows between the storage unit and the sheets. The storage unit heats the gas. The gas flows to a heat exchanger to exchange heat with steam.

A hybrid solar reactor and a heat storage system are disclosed. The hybrid solar reactor includes one or more heaters and a solar light guide assembly coupled to a shell of the reactor. The solar light guide assembly includes a solar light guide to direct solar energy to, for example, one or more reactor tubes within the shell.
