A fluid stream with entrained phosphorescent particles is used to transfer solar radiant energy to a light-release zone where the passage of the stream and particles through suitable light emitting containment means will permit both radiant heat and light emission into such zone. Typically, the heated fluid stream will also be passed to a heat recovery zone, as well as through at least one light releasing zone, such that a major portion of the heat content of the stream and particles can be recovered for immediate use or stored.

A method for effecting the useful recovery of energy from solar radiant energy which comprises: a. passing a fluid stream with entrained phosphorescent particles to a solar radiant energy exposure zone and effecting the absorption of both heat and light energy into such particles and stream, b. passing at least a portion of the resulting light regenerated phosphorescent particles in the carrying fluid stream to a light release zone and providing for the passage of such particles through light emitting containment means to, in turn, provide for light emission therefrom into said light release zone, and c. subsequently returning the stream and particles to said solar energy exposure zone for reheating and re-exposure to sunlight.
