Passive Solar Heating, Cooling, and Daylighting. Solar Thermal Power. Photovoltaics. Solar Photochemical Applications. References. Suggested Readings. Appendices. Index.

About the Author :
Dr. D. Yogi Goswami is a distinguished university professor and director of the Clean Energy Research Center at the University of South Florida. He conducts fundamental and applied research on solar thermal power and cooling, photocatalytic detoxification and disinfection, thermodynamics, third-generation photovoltaics, and hydrogen production and storage. Professor Goswami is the editor in chief of Solar Energy and Progress in Solar Energy. He has published as an author or editor 17 books and more than 350 refereed technical papers. He also holds 16 patents, some of which have been successfully commercialized.

Review :
"The book is an excellent source of high quality information on current and advanced technological topics on solar energy. I intend to upgrade the textbook for my solar energy classes, by replacing the current 2nd edition with the 3rd edition of this book." -Charles Cohn, Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey, USA "This is a book written by one of the prominent experts in solar engineering. The treatment of the design and analysis of solar thermal heating and power generating systems is thorough and unparalleled." -Dr. Teshome Jiru, Oregon Institute of Technology, Klamath Falls, USA "The authors have done a nice job updating this edition of their classic textbook by enhancing the chapter on photovolaics and by including more recent advances in solar thermal power technologies such as the supercritical Rankine cycle and the supercritical C02 power cycle." -Dr. Kevin Anderson, Cal Poly Pomona, Mechanical Engineering, California, USA "The organization of the book seems much better than the second edition... The present chapter eight is a great piece of work, which provides many details in solar thermal power design. To my best knowledge, no other textbook on solar engineering can compete with this book regarding this topic." -Yuan Zheng, University of Wyoming, Laramie, USA
