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 Lode?ve (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. 606 $aSolar energy$zUnited States 615 0$aSolar energy 676 $a621.47 686 $aTEC031000$2bisacsh 700 $aGrupp$b Michael$01672528 701 $aBalmer$b Marlett$01672529 701 $aFainsilber$b Adrien$01672530 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827658603321 996 $aTime to shine$94035917 997 $aUNINA
