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 dwelling 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.
