The Trombe wall is a passive solar building exterior wall system proposed by Professor Felix Trombe in France, which can collect solar energy to heat buildings without additional energy consumption, making it a focal point of research in building energy conservation. However, its effectiveness is constrained by the low density of solar radiation in winter and the
When considering wall-mounted solar panels, it''s essential to evaluate several factors to ensure your home is suitable for such an installation.Start by examining the solar potential of the walls on your property. A south-facing wall is preferable in the Northern Hemisphere as it receives the most sunlight throughout the day. In contrast, for those in the Southern Hemisphere, a north-facing

1.08 . The design of solar panel supporting structure is done and the effects of wind force on its structure stability is analysed. Due to the wind force, a reaction force is experienced on the structure and the structure will retain its stable state, only if this reaction force is compensated by the force due the self-weight of the structure.
Initially, solar energy is conducted through the massive wall and then transferred through convection via the thermo-circulation phenomenon that occurs between the massive wall and the insulating wall. During periods of reduced sunlight, the orifices in the insulating wall can be closed to minimize heat loss [64, 65].
Simultaneously, the visible part of the solar radiation is converted into electricity, which can power various indoor appliances or be stored for later use. The remaining infrared radiation is converted into thermal energy, increasing the temperature of the panels. Cold air from the room enters the TW chamber through the lower air inlet.
When sunlight enters the glazing, the massive wall absorbs the solar flux and conducts some of this energy into the building. This initiates a natural air circulation process, where cooler air enters through a lower opening, and warm air exits through a higher one, effectively transferring solar heat into the living space.
