Click here to view Summary: "Solar energy offers a ubiquitous, inexhaustible, clean, and highly efficient way of meeting the energy needs of the twenty-first century. As with other technologies, the first step to achieving success is to have a firm understanding of the basic science of solar energy and how to utilize it. Physics of Solar Energy and Energy Storageis designed to provide a solid footing in these basics, which will serve as the foundation of research and development in new solar engineering technologies in the years to come. The Second Edition is streamlined and updated to present the content within the context of the global recognition of global warming and the phasing out of fossil fuel that has emerged in the decade since the First Edition was published. Readers will come away with a better understanding of the trends and technologies that are impacting key solar energy applications like solar cells, solar thermal power generators, solar water heaters, solar photochemistry applications, and solar space heating-cooling systems"-- Provided by publisher.| Item type | Current location | Home library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
