Designing with Solar Power is the result of international collaborative research and development work carried out within the framework of the International Energy Agency's Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS) and performed within its Task 7 on 'Photovoltaic power systems in the built environment'. Each chapter of this precisely detailed and informative book has been prepared by an international expert in a specific area related to the development, use and application of building-integrated photovoltaics (BiPV). Chapters not only cover the basics of solar power and electrical concepts, but also investigate the ways in which photovoltaics can be integrated into the design and creation of buildings equipped for the demands of the 21st century. The potential for BiPV, in both buildings and other structures, is explored together with broader issues such as market deployment, and international marketing and government strategies. In addition, more than 20 contemporary international case studies describe in detail how building-integrated photovoltaics have been applied to new and existing buildings, and discuss the architectural and technical quality, and the success of various strategies. Packed with photographs and illustrations, this book is an invaluable companion for architects, builders, designers, engineers, students and all involved with the exciting possibilities of building-integrated photovoltaics.

'Duplicity' sees Pete (Sam Jones) happening upon Clark's spaceship in the cornfield, which forces Clark to reveal his secret to him.

This prompts the Kents to finally reveal to Clark the truth about what happened when they discovered him as a toddler in the cornfield. In 'Ryan', Clark tests his powers to the limit to save Ryan (Ryan James), a telepathic boy who is being used as a test subject at the Summerholt Research Facility by the evil Dr Garner (Martin Cummins). In 'Dichotic', a gifted student, Ian (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) has cloned himself and is dating both Lana and Chloe (Allison Mack) at the same time. Clark tries to warn the girls, but they attribute his interference to jealousy. In 'Skinwalkers', Clark falls into a cave filled with Native American inscriptions that hold the key to his true identity.

But Clark and Pete mount their own investigation and discover a tangle of motives and possible suspects. 'Insurgence' sees Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) discovering that Lionel has secretly installed an electronic surveillance system in his mansion. In retaliation, Lex hires crooks to install cameras in Lionel's Metropolis office... In 'Rush', a parasitic worm infects Pete and Chloe, turning them into wild adrenaline junkies. In 'Prodigal', Lex tracks down his long-lost brother Lucas (Paul Wasilewski), and brings him home to Smallville in the hope that they can buy Lionel out and unite against him.
