Description

The course establishes foundation material for all solar energy conversion technologies, explaining the basic concepts and implementation of solar conversion processes. We describe the properties and availability of solar radiation and geometric relationship of sun/collector, proper- ties of materials used in solar conversion processes, procedures for solar thermal engineering calculations, principles of photovoltaic conversion (optoelectronic and optocaloric processes), designing PV systems, and solar concentration for heat and power conversions This course will complement the existing courses sustainable energy processes. Course activities include a semester project on a solar energy system design and class presentation on the semester project.
