We know that the shining sun gives us heat and light. Light is made up of photons. When the sun shines onto the chips of solar panel, photons from the sunlight are absorbed by the cells in the panel, which create an electric field across the layers and causes electricity to flow. The process of converting light (photons) to electricity (voltage) is called the photovoltaic (PV) effect. Currently solar panels convert most of the visible light spectrum and about half of the ultraviolet and infrared light spectrum to usable solar energy. Solar energy technologies use the sun's energy and light to provide heat, light, hot water, electricity, and even cooling for homes, businesses, and industry. Solar energy is claimed to be the future source of power. Many countries of the world are determined to go for solar power. About 70 % of the homes in California, USA use solar energy.For example, in the Cayman Islands the sunshine is abundant, but diesel fuel costs are very high. Feeling the high price of imported fuel, the developer of the mixed-use Cayman Technology Centre installed solar arrays. The goal was to power the entire complex with solar but remain connected to the central utility's grid as a backup.Solar technology is a proven solution for reducing electricity bills and is being widely adopted by most businesses. Rooftop solar power plants in many cities have been installed.Researchers are developing solar fabrics with a vision of including solar power in each fiber. These solar filaments can be embedded into your t-shirts, winter coats, or any other clothing to help you keep warmer, power your phone, and provide energy for other needs while you're on the go.Solar fabricated household clothing can help you save on solar panel mounting and installation costs.Solar cell manufacturing companies are also working specifically on the US Army project with a vision to create solar-powered robotic tents. With solar costs continuously falling, it's no more unlikely to imagine a future where almost everything will be powered by free solar, the sun.Further, there are many other innovative residential solar technologies in development or currently being rolled out. Perhaps the most promising new tech is Perovskite solar cells, which could soon be used to create solar paint. Solar energy is the future of all energy sources. It is pollution free, unending and always available, whereas reserves of carbon fuels are diminishing day by day. Looking to its rate of growth in the days to come, it is advisable to learn about the solar technology and its utility. This title is a comprehensive material and is a must-read book for all. It is in this context, I made an attempt to create a book for everyone and everyone to read the book.

This volume is the third in the series of the book entitled, 'Advances in Solar Energy Technology'. The purpose of writting this multiple volume book is to provide all the relevant latest information in the field of Solar Energy (Applied as well as theoretical) to serve as the best source material at one place. Attempts are made to discuss topics in depth to assist both the students (undergraduate, pos- graduate, Research Scholars) and the professionals (consulting, design, contracting firms). The third volume discusses the heating, agricultural and photovo1taic applications of Solar Energy. Chapter 1 deals with solar cookers, one of the important application area for developing countries. After discussing the history of solar cookers, eight types of direct solar cookers, two types of box solar cookers and two types of advanced solar cookers are discussed in detail. The performance studies carri~d out on direct type and on box type solar cookers are also presented. A test procedure for rating a box type solar cooker is also introduced. The limitations and advantages of various cookers are discussed briefly in the chapter. Desalinated water for drinking purposes, for industrial and agricultural applications is required. The topic of Solar Distillation is discussed in detail in chapter two. Solar Distillation has a long history and in this chapter various kind of solar stills like conventional solar still, tilted tray solar still, wick type solar still, mUltiple effect diffusion solar still, multistage flash distillation, etc.
