As this technology becomes a larger and larger piece of the energy spectrum, it is increasingly important for engineers, scientists, managers, and other decision-makers to understand solar energy technology and its applications. This book, written in easy-to-understand language, with plentiful color photos and illustrations, is the perfect primer on solar energy for anyone working in the energy industry or just wants to learn more about solar energy technology. With a focus on its current uses in other countries, including developing countries, this book shows examples of actual and potential uses of solar energy right here in the USA. It presents an original view of solar energy technology, as well as tools for the understanding of consequences of energy-related decisions. Parts of this book draw to a large extent on the work of the Synopsis Institute in Lodève (France), a leading research and development firm in the area of solar energy technology and its practical uses in our everyday lives"--cProvided by publisher 0aSolar energyzUnited States 7aTECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Power Resources / General.2bisacsh  00104070a20000b20000d2019-09-04g205.48l0oTJ809.95 .G78 2012p0000075388r2019-09-04 00:00:00t1v205.48w2019-09-04yOPEN  aVIRTUA40c68342d68348  aVTLSSORT0080*0200*0400*0900*1000*2450*2600*3000*5200*6500*6501*9992
