The first section details the basic concepts of solar thermal energy processes, with new material on the latest value of solar constant and extraterrestrial spectral distribution; new sections on shading, anisotropic sky models, and utilizability radiation statistics.In the second section, applications for water heating, active and passive building heating, cooling, industrial operations, power generation, solar ponds, and evaporative processes are discussed.The final section offers a practical look at the thermal design of active and passive systems by simulation, correlation, and utilizability methods that is essential to predicting long-term performance and estimation of costs.
