      abstract = {This handbook aims at providing a comprehensive resource  on solar energy. Primarily intended to serve as a reference  for scientists, students and professionals, the book, in  parts,can also serve as a text for undergraduate and  graduate course work on solar energy. The book begins with  availability, importance and applications of solar energy,  definition of sun and earth angles and classification of  solar energy as thermal and photon energy. It then goes on  to cover day lighting parameters, laws of thermodynamics  including energy and exergy analysis, photovoltaic modules  and materials, PVT collectors, and applications such as  solar drying and distillation. Energy conservation by solar  energy and energy matrices based on overall thermal and  electrical performance of hybrid system are also discussed.  Techno-economic feasibility of any energy source is the  backbone of its success and hence economic analysis is  covered. Some important constants, such as exercises and  problems increase the utility of the book as a text. .},
