ABSTRACT. The handbook, for convenient use, is divided into eight main units: (1) The Solar Resource; (2) Solar Thermal Collectors; (3) Photovoltaics; (4) Bioconversion; (5) Wind Energy; (6) Solar Energy Storage Systems; (7) Applications of Solar Energy; (8) Non-technical Issues. In addition there are three Appendixes
As of the end of 2018, the global capacity of installed and grid-connected solar PV power reached 480 GW (Figure 6), representing 20% year-on-year growth compared to 2017
Solar PV technologies are small and highly modular and can be used virtually any-where, unlike many other electricity generation technologies. Unlike conventional power plants using coal, nuclear, oil and gas, solar PV has no fuel costs and relatively low operation and main-tenance (O&M) costs.
