Designing with Solar Power

Designing With Solar Power encapsulates five years of work by more than 30 international experts from the fields of research, development and design. Photovoltaic power's potential for wide distribution makes it a unique and novel energy source that can be embedded within the fabric of individual buildings, shifting power generation away from being large-scale to being regionally located instead. As a consequence, an abundant amount of clean and silent electricity can be supplied to cities, towns and built-up areas. This informative publication shows a clear path to designing with photovoltaics in buildings and is a significant source book for any designer or individual who wishes to be kept informed of this important and evolving technology.
