[en] Technological updating, economic evaluations and future plans, for solar energy for power production, are presented here

[en] A concise table summarizing the yearly performance of 8 photovoltaic facilities in the USA, arranged according to their particular technology, is presented

[en] The objective of this talk is to review existing solar energy technologies for production of low temperature heat (T<100 degrees C) in terms of their potential to generate electricity

[en] Here an estimate of the effect of random fluctuations in the solar radiation on the expected standard deviation of the performance of photovoltaic systems is presented. (author)

[en] The talk will give an overview of photovoltaic systems (PV), will list the different system components and the matching of some components, and finally, will describe three MW grid-connected photovoltaic systems. (author)

[en] In this work the usefulness of the spectral response distribution as a diagnostic tool is demonstrated. (author)

[en] Economic analysis of solar thermal power plants and its major components performance is presented

[en] Today, Luz is the world's most experienced and successful producer of solar thermal power stations, with 100 Megawatts of solar power already on the power grid of the southern California Edison utility company, and another 480 Megawatts to be added by 1992. Producing a significant percentage of all the solar-generated power throughout the world, Luz has made the solar energy competitive with that of conventional fossil fuels, a welcome development for a world which must face the environmental effects of power production and the prospect of dwindling fossil fuel resources
