Solar Energy Applications in the Tropics Proceedings of a Regional Seminar and Workshop on the Utilization of Solar Energy in Hot Humid Urban Development, held at Singapore, 30 October – 1 November, 1980

Renewable energy sources such as solar energy were advocated even before the energy crisis in 1973. Subsequent development in solar energy has been remarkable. Indeed it has been one of the most studied and researched topics in recent years. Much of the technology in the utilization of solar energy...
