The field of solar energy conversion has become an important
discipline with a recognized potential to significantly contribute
to the world supply of energy. It is diversified and encompasses a
wide variety of disciplines - from mechanical engineering to
physics, from biology to architecture, from ocean science to
agriculture, from chemistry to atmospheric science, to name some of
the major fields. It involves fields which have matured to the
engineering aspects, such as the conversion of solar energy into
heat or of wind into shaft work. It includes other fields in which
more basic science research is necessary to unravel the
micro-structures of nature, as, for example, for photovoltaic
conversion or for certain bioengineering tasks. Several of these
fields have elements which have been common knowledge for centuries
but sometimes forgotten at times of cheap energy supplies, while
others have barely started with first studies. Most of the fields
have seen during the last decade a substantial advance in
sophistication, in theoretical understanding, in demonstrated
feasibility, in developing hardware, in field testing, with some
moving into a phase of initial commercialization.
