A collection of the latest cutting-edge research is presented which seeks to address the most pressing issues faced by policymakers regarding the planning and exploitation of solar energy. Scientifically robust models are developed to guide researchers on identifying optimum sites for the implementation of solar energy projects. Each methodology presented is accompanied by global case studies, ranging from the small islands of Hawaii and Mauritius to larger countries such as India and Spain. This book is primarily targeted to researchers aspiring to unveil and optimize the solar resource potential of their countries for the benefit of a wider audience, ranging from architects, agro-industrialists, climatologists, and energy experts. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Energy,$x2191-5539 606 $aSolar energy 606 $aPhotovoltaic power generation 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aStatistics 606 $aSolar Thermal Energy 606 $aPhotovoltaics 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management 606 $aStatistical Theory and Methods 615 0$aSolar energy. 615 0$aPhotovoltaic power generation. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aStatistics. 615 14$aSolar Thermal Energy. 615 24$aPhotovoltaics. 615 24$aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management. 615 24$aStatistical Theory and Methods. 676 $a910.285 676 $a333.7923 700 $aDoorga$b Jay$01158840 702 $aRughooputh$b Soonil 702 $aBoojhawon$b Ravindra 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910544873803321 996 $aGeospatial Optimization of Solar Energy$92706143 997 $aUNINA
