Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng Solar power station
Just wondering if there's a specific term for this.


Instalación de puesta a tierra
Puesta a tierra de protección

La envolvente dispondrá de una pletina de cobre que constituye el ***colector de tierras*** de protección, a la que se conectaran las pantallas de los cables subterráneos y demás elementos.

Many thanks

earth collector

Take not only heat, give also heat. The earth collector as a low temperature saisonal storage. Heat from the 24 m² solar collector on the roof heat up the earth collector.

live.pege.org/heat-of-earth/earth-collector.htm

During the summer, solar heat is stored in the soil. This is either directly absorbed as insulation or as heat from rain and the air from the near-surface layer of the soil. Using this energy for heating is a cost effective method. The highest yield can be obtained from soil with high water content. The heat is extracted from the soil by means of buried plastic tubing. An environmentally-friendly, non-freezing emulsion of water- and glycol circulates in the tubing. The soil above the earth collector may not be sealed off under any circumstances, i.e. by buildings, asphalt or concrete.

GEROtherm®- geothermal systems are suitable for use of geothermal
energy or to deduct (store) surplus heat into the ground. To do so, closed vertical or horizontal piping systems are used. We distinguish geothermal probes, horizontal earth collectors, collectors/distributors and energy piles. To produce these systems we use plastic pipes made out of PE 100, as they ideally meet the requirements regarding heat absorption and release.

disagree Kathryn Litherland : I'm afraid to say, it reflects poorly on you to miss the context provided by a basic electrical terminology "puesta a tierra" and then claim a "4" level of confidence
