Advances in Solar Technologies
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced solar technologies are emerging as key renewable technologies to address the world’s growing demand for energy and environmental issues. This Special Issue is intended to give a platform to a wide range of researchers to share a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge and innovative ideas, novel design concepts, technology development, optimization of materials and devices, system integration, performance optimization using simulation tools, and experimental analysis that are being pursued to develop solar technologies and systems, as well as related interdisciplinary research areas such as solar drying, space heating, dehumidification, desalination, refrigeration, thermal and electrical storage, etc. The latest research on the topic will provide the readers with novel ideas and methods for devising next-generation solutions for solar technologies to practical applications. We welcome both original research and review articles.
