ABSTRACT:
A solar heat wave energy system having a solar energy collector that collects energy from the sun to heat a boiler which in turn runs a steam turbine generator for generating electricity during the daytime. The system also has an assembly for generating electricity during the nighttime, which assembly includes a storage structure disposed between the solar collector and the boiler. This storage structure includes a plurality of separate storage stacks, each housed underground and including a plurality of heat conductive pipes interdigitally arranged with a plurality of plates constructed from twice-baked clay and arranged resting on a base formed from a similar clay as the plates. Solar energy is absorbed by the collector and transferred to the storage structure by means of suitable piping for storage in the twice-baked clay plates. When the stored heat is to be later used, as in the nighttime or on overcast days, a switching device uncouples the collector from the storage structure and couples the storage structure to the boiler.
