Riassunto

Implementation of Solar Thermal Technology describes thesuccesses and failures of thecommercialization efforts of the U.S.solar thermal energy program, from the oil embargo of 1973throughthe demise of the program in the early Reagan administration andits afterlife since then. Theemphasis throughout is on lessonslearned from the solar experience, with an eye towardapplicationsto other projects as well as toward possible renewal of efforts atcommercialization.PartI discusses the history of government involvement in solardevelopment and the parallel developmentof the market for solarproducts. Part II looks at the histories of specificcommercializationprograms for five areas (active heating and cooling, passivetechnologies, passivecommercial building activities, industrialprocess heat, and high-temperature technologies). PartsIII-VIIIfocus in turn on demonstration and construction projects, qualityassurance, informationdissemination programs, efforts to transfertechnology to industry, incentive programs (tax credits,financing,and grants), and organizational support.Solar Heat Technologies: Fundamentals andApplications, Volume 10
