Synopsis
The total solar energy available to the earth is approximately 3850 zettajoules per year. Although that number is fixed, the R&D, investment and commercialization interests in solar energy have grown drastically these last years. This symposium focuses on the cutting edge of solar based technology development with most every energy producing application considered. We welcome your submission into the topics listed below, and look forward to your participation this year.
