  • Solar Thermal Energy (2002)-

    This technical brief was written by The Demonstration and Training Centre for Appropriate Technologies (CEDCAP), which researches and explores renewable energy applications for rural populations in Peru and South America. It focuses on solar thermal applications for daily use in rural Peru.

  • Solar Energy for Food Security in West Africa (2009)-

    This document compiles different posters that were presented during the International Solar Food Processing Conference that took place in India in January 2009. The posters refer the importance of using renewable energy sources, notably solar, for sustainable local economic development purposes, by demonstrating the efficiency of such systems in different areas: food processing, dying, cooking and preservation. Different case studies are presented in Burkina Faso, Portugal, Chile and India.

     

  • Capacity Building for Solar Thermal Energy in India (2010)-

    This presentation provided by Rangan Banerjee, from the Department of Energy Science and Engineering of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Bombay, draws a panorama of solar thermal energy and storage technologies. After a brief presentation of various green energies and several end uses and technologies, the author focuses on solar thermal energy, especially on passive solar.

  • Solar Thermal in China (2002)-

    This document of the Zhejiang Energy Research Institute, from 2002, provides an overview of the evolution of solar thermal use in China, since its start in early 50s until recent days, emphasising the resolutions of both the 2000-2015 Development Plan and the five -year Plan for the New and Renewable Energy Industry Development of China.

  • Solar Cooking in Central American Solar Energy Project (CASEP)-

    This document and website provide detailed information about the Central American Solar Energy Project (CASEP), which promotes the construction and use of solar cookers in countries such as Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The project has an environmental purpose - promoting the use of solar thermal energy for cooking – as well as a social function, empowering women, by helping them to develop other skills, through constructing and using solar cookers.
