COURSE TITLE : Solar Fundamentals I

Introduction to the Course/课程介绍:

This course provides an introduction.

This course gives an introduction to solar energy by presenting the irradiation potential and its fluctuation with time on a collector area.

It is then applied to solar chemistry, solar fuel production, solar heat utilization and to PV systems either grid connected or off-grid.

本课程介绍太阳能热化学、太阳能热利用和太阳能燃料的生产。

Course Aims/课程目标: The aims of this Course are to:

This is intended as professional reference for an undergraduate or first-year graduate course. A key feature of the course is modular organization. The five chapters, each containing problems and a reference list, may be read in almost any order, though they are grouped in three parts in order of increasing depth and complexity. The three parts discuss fundamentals, complete systems, and possibilities for improvements, respectively.

这是作为本科或一年级研究生课程的专业参考，该课程的一个主要特点是模块化组织。这五章，每章都包含问题和参考书目，几乎可以按任何顺序阅读，尽管它们按深度和复杂性增加的顺序分为三个部分。这三个部分分别讨论了基础知识、完整系统和改进的可能性。
