Special Issue on Solar Energy and Its Applications

Solar energy, radiation from the Sun capable of producing heat, causing chemical reactions, or generating electricity. The total amount of solar energy incident on Earth is vastly in excess of the world’s current and anticipated energy requirements. If suitably harnessed, this highly diffused source has the potential to satisfy all future energy needs. In the 21st century solar energy is expected to become increasingly attractive as a renewable energy source because of its inexhaustible supply and its nonpolluting character, in stark contrast to the finite fossil fuels coal, petroleum, and natural gas. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of solar energy and its applications.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring solar energy and its applications. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Solar energy measurement
• Solar energy policy
• Solar energy utilisation
• Energy storage methods
• Thermal energy
• Development, deployment and economics
• Solar heating of buildings
• Solar energy applications

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Solar Energy and Its Applications” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
