It is rare that a book draws together the knowledge and experience
of scientists, each a world leader in their discipline, to create a
work that presents the state of the art in a field as rich and
diverse as solar energy.In Solar Energy -- the State of the Art
this aim has been achieved. The book comprises 12 individual
chapters, each dedicated to one of the major solar energy
sub-disciplines and authored by an internationally recognized
expert in the field. Areas covered range from solar radiation and
meteorology, solar collectors and concentrators, solar energy and
the built environment, to solar thermal electricity, photovoltaics,
wind energy and the potential cost of ignoring solar energy
resources. The papers examine the technology and field in question,
discuss the rudiments and major applications, review the current
science and technology and explore the remaining challenges for the
future. TOPICS include: * solar and natural resources for a better
efficiency in the built environment* glazings and coatings*
selectively solar-absorbing coatings* solar collectors* solar water
heating* photovoltaic physics and devices* solar concentrators* the
cost of pollution and the benefit of solar energy* solar process
heat: distillation, drying, agricultural and industrial uses* solar
resource assessment: a review* solar thermal electricity* wind
energy review Solar Energy -- the State of the Art is an essential
reference work for all solar energy practitioners, students,
researchers and engineers wishing to gain a broad-based
understanding of the theory, technology, applications and issues
surrounding the broad, interdisciplinary field of solar energy. The
book will form an importantcomponent of any library's solar energy
holding and will be of particular benefit as an academic reference,
as well as being of practical value to professionals who wish to
gain a clear understanding of the concepts required to move forward
in this field.Solar Energy -- the State of the Art is an initiative
of the International Solar Energy Society (ISES).
