17.6 MB Download
This handbook aims at providing a comprehensive resource on solar
energy. Primarily intended to serve as a reference for scientists,
students and professionals, the book, in parts, can also serve as a
text for undergraduate and graduate course work on solar energy.
The book begins with availability, importance and
applications of solar energy, definition of sun and earth angles
and classification of solar energy as thermal and photon energy. It
then goes onto cover day lighting parameters, laws of
thermodynamics including energy and exergy analysis, photovoltaic
modules and materials, PVT collectors, and applications such as
solar drying and distillation. Energy conservation by solar
energy and energy matrices based on overall thermal and electrical
performance of hybrid system are also discussed. Techno-economic
feasibility of any energy source is the backbone of its success and
hence economic analysis is covered. Some important constants, such
as exercises and problems increase the utility of the book as a
text.
