Solar energy is usually used to heat a building or as power plants, but Conserval Engineering is currently testing its new solar thermal wall panels which in addition to warm the building , its able to help cool down too.
Engineering Conserval famous for its SolarWall corrugated galvanized-steel solar collectors to heat the building using HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning) system that function to transfer the heat. This system can cut costs for the building heating system as well as save energy.
NigtSolar works in the same way with SolarWall air heating system but it works vice versa. NightSolar works on the principle of Nocturnal Radiation, which absorb the sun's heat during the day and radiate heat back into the cold night air. The system will only work when the afternoon sun sets until the morning at sunrise.
NightSolar roof panels are connected with air handlers (an air conditioning system) so it can draw the hot air inside the building to be moved into the cold air outside at night.Although NightSolar can not function optimally to cool the building (10 degrees Fahrenheit below the ambient temperature of the building) but it is hoped could help to save costs and energy.
