Renewable energy sources such as solar energy were advocated even
before the energy crisis in 1973. Subsequent development in solar
energy has been remarkable. Indeed it has been one of the most
studied and researched topics in recent years. Much of the
technology in the utilization of solar energy has been associated
with housing and industrial applications, and, to a smaller extent,
with commercial use. The nature of the utilization has been related
to the philosophy of independence or autonomy in that each housing
or industrial unit is made self-sufficient by the installation of
solar energy equipment. The general aim of the development of solar
energy has been to substitute existing energy sources by solar
energy especially among the developed countries in the temperate
regions. In developing countries, the application of solar
technology has been more acceptable in rural areas where
conventional infrastructure is under developed. A different
direction is necessary for the development of solar energy in urban
areas. Buildings are inter-related, and have been dependent on the
conventional infrastructure. The consumption of energy is many
times more than that in the rural areas. A new approach to urban
development must be generated, and studies should be made on the
feasibility and viability of using solar energy for urban
settlements."
