Description

Concerns about energy resources and the environmental impact of energy use will continue to be important globally.

World Scientific's unique series of books on Current Energy Issues is intended, in part, as an expansion and update of the material contained in the World Scientific Handbook of Energy.

Each volume will focus on related energy resources or issues and will contain a broader range of topics with more explanatory text.This Solar Energy volume covers a variety of approaches to the use of solar energy.

These include large scale photovoltaic production of electricity as well as more local applications in the home and businesses.

Similarly, there is an extensive discussion of large scale solar thermal electricity production and smaller scale uses such as solar water heating, home heating and cooling plus crop drying.

There is also discussion of more forward-looking technologies including the production of fuels using artificial photosynthesis and the production of biomass.
