This volume provides a thorough review and evaluation of the use of solar optical materials in applications which have high potential for commercial development. Areas of concern and problems for future research are also highlighted. With major contributions from Europe's leading specialists in the field, this record of the first UK-ISES conference dedicated to materials problems in solar energy applications will be indispensable to those in the forefront of solar energy research.
For energy technologists, especially those working in solar energy research, materials scientists and architects.
