In 1973, Dr. Boer created the Solar One house, the first house to
convert sunlight into electricity and heat. His leadership made a
lasting impact on science, engineering, and the solar industry.
"The Life of the Solar Pioneer Karl Wolfgang Boer" describes the
life of one of the most influential and recognized solar energy
pioneers. It is a must read for anyone interested in the modern
development of solar energy, Boer's dynamic life as one of the key
movers in the field, and his world authority in CdS (Cadmium
sulfide).
It provides rare insight into the personal life of a scientist
growing up in turbulent postwar Berlin. After his emigration to the
USA and his transformation as a leader in solar energy, he set the
direction for the future in significant ways:
Bridged the divide between academia and industry
Wrote over 350 science publications, dozens of books, and
patents
Created the most successful international solid state physics
journal
Promoted worldwide implementation of solar energy
