Solar Photovoltaics and Solar Thermal Energy Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The journal Energies is pleased to invite you to submit research and/or review papers to a Special Issue on “Solar Photovoltaics and Solar Thermal Energy Systems”. Solar energy has huge potential for providing electricity, space heating and cooling, water heating, energy storage, solar cooking, drying, distillation, industrial process heat, and much more. This Special Issue aims to present new research findings as well as reviews of significant work in the field of solar photovoltaic systems, solar thermal energy systems, thermal energy storage, and hybrid solar systems. Potential topics include but are not limited to photovoltaic systems, electric vehicle charging using photovoltaics, photovoltaic glazing, photovoltaic thermal collectors, thermal management of photovoltaics, thermal management of concentrating photovoltaics, hybrid solar systems, optics of concentrators, thermal energy storage, phase change material, solar water heater, solar air heater, solar still, concentrating solar power, parabolic trough, Fresnel reflectors, heliostat field, paraboloid dish, energy conservation in buildings, thermal management of buildings, and demand-side management.

We look forward to your contribution in this Special Issue.

Dr. Sourav Khanna
Guest Editor
