SAGE: Solar Assisted Gas Energy
Abstract
SAGE (Solar Assisted Gas Energy) is an evolving system for combining the efficient use of natural gas with solar energy for water and space heating. The objectives of SAGE research are to (1) develop an economical and efficient water heating system that draws its energy from the sun and natural gas; (2) determine the best means of accelerating the consumer use of the system; and (3) enhance conservation of our nation's natural resources. This booklet explains the research program, illustrates the operation of the SAGE system, outlines the history of solar energy, and lists SAGE participants.
