De la contraportada

Solar power continues to be the most abundant of all renewable resources, making its impact ever more crucial to achieving energy security and sustainability. This revised and enhanced Third Edition of Solar Energy Engineering: Processes and Systems, from Prof. Soteris Kalogirou, a renowned expert in renewable energy systems and applications, includes updated chapters and extended resources to assist the research and teaching of solar energy engineering.

Now this best-selling title includes a student and academic companion site with additional materials on chapter PowerPoints for teaching, problems with solution manual, and equations files to assist problem solving.

Continuing to cover advances in solar collectors, solar water heating, solar space heating and cooling, industrial process heat, solar desalination, photovoltaic technology, solar thermal power systems, modeling of solar energy systems and includes a new chapter on wind energy systems.

As solar energy’s vast environmental and socioeconomic benefits are broadly recognized, the Third Edition of Solar Energy Engineering: Processes and Systems 3d provides students, teachers and professionals with the basic principles and applications of solar energy systems and processes to understand how to operate and design solar systems.
