A classic in the field, so what can I say, it is fully recommended for learning/teaching as well as for direct reference when doing some calculation or even having to write an article on the topic.

4.0 out of 5 stars No Nothing Prior

I knew nothing about solar panels prior to this and this book helped me learn a great deal. However, one thing I disagree with a little in the book is how detailed it gets on some parts, mainly when it starts talking about the make up of the coatings on solar panels in such chemistry language. With that in mind though, you can easily just skip that chapter and no harm no foul

This is written for engineers to develop skills and application of solar thermal processes. It also addresses photovoltaic design and wind energy systems. This is quite technical and not suited for someone with a casual interest wishing to enter into the green area.

4.0 out of 5 stars Its alright
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2013

As far as textbooks go the reading is dry as usual but there are several options presented for modeling solar radiation of varying difficulty. Info ranges from graphs to give intuition about changes in solar collector tilt to numerical models that would take 10 minutes just to punch in all the numbers. Quite information intensive as it should be.

Book was received in pretty good condition. Had some wear on it, but that is to be expected from a used book. Didn't end up using this book very much for the class, however it served as a good reference and will likely serve as a reference to me in industry.

Não gostei. Paguei caro por um livro técnico, e me entregaram outro livro.
Quero meu livro! E quero um código para devolução do livro errado.
Minhas compras na Amazon nos Estados Unidos nunca deram problemas. Espero uma solução urgente! Caso contrário, vou reclamar na Amazon americana. Em sequência, vou usar o reclame aqui, e por último, no tribunas de pequenas causas. Além disso vou cancelar minha conta.
