INTRODUCTION
Conventional energy sources are depleting day by day,
and thus gets reflected the increasing energy costs, as
well. Presently, various options for the use of
alternative energy are being pursued vigorously by
engineers. In this context, the efficient utilization of all
renewable energy sources is very significant. The
renewable energy sources, derived primarily from the
enormous power of the sun’s radiation, are the most
ancient forms of energy used by humanity. Early
human societies were built on the direct use of solar
energy. Of late, there is renewed interest in harnessing
solar radiation, both by direct and indirect
methodologies with the aim of satisfying the ever
increasing energy needs. This course is expected to
provide a comprehensive coverage on solar energy
utilization for the benefit of teachers, students and
practicing engineers.
