Summary

Proposes adding heated channels between the canopy and ground of a solar chimney power plant collector, supplied by an external heat source, so the plant can keep generating at night. A thermo-fluid model shows that with channel walls at 100 °C and 1000 W/m² irradiance, collector air temperature rises by about 6% and power output by about 23%.
