Description
The amount of solar energy that falls on the Earth`s land areas over one year is almost 2000 times greater than the entire world`s energy demand. Given the global climate problem, using this potential in the best possible way seems self-evident. In principle, two different areas can be distinguished in solar energy usage: photovoltaics and solar thermal energy. In order to tap the full potential of solar energy as a sustainable energy supply, it is essential that we understand and develop modern concepts of use.
