Beschreibung:
Peter F. Varadi co-founded Solarex Corporation, USA, in 1973 to develop the utilization of solar cells for terrestrial applications. Solarex was one of the two companies that pioneered this field. By 1983, it became the largest PV Company in the world, when it was sold to AMOCO. Dr. Varadi continued consulting for the European Commission, World Bank, NREL, and other organizations. His book Sun above the Horizon, which describes the meteoric rise of the solar industry, and its sequel, Sun towards High Noon, were published in 2014 and 2017, respectively.
An energy transition that took its first tentative steps in the latter part of the 20th century is now unfolding rapidly. The share of solar electricity in Africa and the Middle East is expected to become the next large markets for solar electric systems. This book provides a comprehensive review of why and how this will happen.
