Solar Energy: Renewable Energy and the Environment By Robert Foster, James Witcher, Vaughn Nelson, Majid Ghassemi, Luz Elena Mimbela, Abbas Ghassemi * Publisher: CRC * Number Of Pages: 382 * Publication Date: 2009-08-18 * ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1420075667 * ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781420075663 Product Description: Drawing on the authors’ extensive research and project implementation around the globe, Solar Energy: Renewable Energy and the Environment covers solar energy resources, thermal and photovoltaic systems, and the economics involved in using solar energy. It provides background theory on solar energy as well as useful technical information for implementing solar energy applications. The book details the strengths, weaknesses, and applications of solar power generation technologies. It discusses the design and implementation of often-overlooked solar technologies, such as solar water pumping, distillation, detoxification, refrigeration, and village power. The text also examines photovoltaic power and how it is best suited for remote-site applications with small to moderate power requirements. Examples, real-world case studies, and lessons learned from technical failures illustrate how to best implement solar energy projects. The time for clean energy solutions is here. Only through energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies can modern civilization extricate itself from the gathering perfect energy storm. Focusing on one of the keys to lessen the potentially harmful impacts of the storm, this book discusses how to increase energy production from a clean energy source—the sun. Summary: All you need to know about solar energy Rating: 5 Robert Foster is passionate about solar energy, and you can feel it in this book, it is really an excellent source of updated information and basics about any single application for the radiation coming from the sun, a must have for any solar or even renewable energy professional.
