Abstract

These glossaries have been prepared as a contribution to the book being prepared by Professor Federico Casai on the International Energy Agency’s Small Solar Power Systems (SSPS) Project. The Glossary on solar thermal energy conversion has been compiled from a number of sources, including reports prepared by the author1,2 and others3 together with solar thermal documents4,5,6,7 from Sandia National Laboratories and DFVLR.
