Abstract

See full text

A solar energy system. The system includes a thermal solar system comprising a plurality of thermal modules spatially configured as an N by M array. In a specific embodiment, the plurality of thermal modules are configured to form an aperture region and a backside region. The system has an air moving device comprising a drive device coupled to a blower device. In a specific embodiment, the drive device is spatially disposed within a fluid drive region. The system has a controller operably coupled to the air moving device. The controller is configured to operate the blower device in a first direction to cause fluid flow from at least the fluid flow intake region to the fluid flow exit region and to maintain a temperature of no greater than about 200 Degrees Fahrenheit within the fluid drive region by at least changing the first direction of operation of the blower device to a second direction to cause fluid from a third region to flow into the fluid drive region to initiate removal of thermal energy from the fluid drive region, which prevents the drive device from overheating.
