Sun: Mankind's Future Source of Energy, Volume One contains the proceedings of the International Solar Energy Society Congress held in New Delhi, India in January 1978. The papers review the significant advances that have been made with regards to solar energy as a resource for the future, along with the scientific and technological problems associated with its optimal use for various applications. The social and economic issues concerning solar technology are also discussed. Comprised of 416 chapters, this volume begins with an assessment of national and international plans and programs for solar energy utilization, including those of the United Nations, Europe, the United States, and developing countries. The next sections examine the economic, policy, social, and implementation aspects of solar energy, together with solar radiation and energy storage. Photovoltaics, including space power, and photochemistry are also investigated. Other issues that are discussed in relation to solar energy are photobiology and biomass; flat plate collectors; concentrating systems; solar heating and cooling, including water and swimming pool heating; thermal power systems such as ocean thermal gradient systems; wind power; and agricultural and industrial applications. This monograph will be of interest to scientists, technologists, social scientists, and energy policy makers and planners.
