Concentrating Solar Power: CSP systems use reflective materials that concentrate the sun's heat energy to drive a generator that produces electricity. Photovoltaics: PV systems use semiconductor materials that convert sunlight directly to electricity. Solar Heating: Solar collectors absorb the sun's energy to provide low-temperature heat used directly for hot water or space heating for residential or commercial buildings. Solar Lighting: Parabolic collectors focus sunlight into a fiber optic system to illuminate building interiors with sunlight. The Solar America Initiative (SAI) is a part of the President's Advanced Energy Initiative and will accelerate the development of advanced photovoltaic materials with the goal of making it cost-competitive with other forms of renewable electricity by 2015. The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technology Program (SETP) will achieve the goals of the SAI through partnerships and strategic alliances with industry participants, universities, federal and state government, and other nongovernmental agencies by focusing primarily on four areas: Market Transformation - activities that address marketplace barriers and offer the opportunity for market expansion * Device and Process Proof of Concept - R&D activities addressing novel devices or processes with potentially significant performance or cost advantages * Component Prototype and Pilot-Scale Production - R&D activities emphasizing development of prototype PV components or systems produced at pilot-scale with demonstrated cost, reliability, or performance advantages * System Development and Manufacturing..

This up-to-date and comprehensive electronic book on CD-ROM presents a collection of important documents and publications about the Solar America Initiative (SAI) of the U.S. Department of Energy. The SAI is an effort to make solar energy cost-competitive with conventional forms of electricity by 2015. The Solar America Initiative is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) effort to make solar energy cost-competitive with conventional forms of electricity by 2015. The strategy pursues complementary activities in research and development (R&D) and in market transformation. The goals are to reduce costs through R&D and to eliminate market barriers through deployment. To achieve its goals, the Solar America Initiative partners with: Industry, Universities, State governments, Federal agencies, other non-governmental agencies. Benefits to the nation of the Solar America Initiative include: Boosting the economy by creating a U.S.-based solar industry; Increasing energy security by diversifying the nation's electricity portfolio; Decreasing the effect of power outages on cities; Reducing the impact on the environment of power generation from fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and natural gas. By 2015, photovoltaics will provide 5 to 10 gigawatts of new electric capacity (enough to power 1 to 2 million homes) to the U.S. grid, and avoid 10 million metric tons per year of carbon dioxide emissions. There is extensive coverage of solar energy, solar heating and lighting, solar concentrating technology, and photovoltaic (PV) solar power cells. Encyclopedic coverage of every practical aspect of solar power, heating, electricity, and research is thoroughly covered in this incredible collection! Million Solar Roofs Initiative (MSR) - the goal of the MSR was to transform markets for distributed solar technologies by facilitating the installation of solar systems. This necessitated a diffuse, essentially grassroots, program approach. In contrast, SAI's goal of achieving cost parity with conventional electricity generation by 2015 demands a distinctly different programmatic approach and an accelerated pace of marketplace acceptance. Nevertheless, lessons learned in MSR have relevance to SAI. Moreover, an important part of MSR's legacy is the 971 partners nationwide that constitute advocates who are schooled in the technologies and knowledgeable about their local and regional markets. This marketplace expertise will be useful in SAI. Between 1997 and 2005, 94 coalitions across the country signed on with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as official MSR partnerships. These partnerships comprised 971 private sector firms, electric utilities, builder-developers, nonprofit organizations, and governmental entities-all voluntarily committed to facilitate the installation of a specified number of "solar roofs." Viable solar energy technology topics covered include: Solar Cells * photovoltaic (PV) power * flat-plate PV * concentrating PV * off-grid * on-grid * conversion efficiencies * solar thermal electric * solar industry * DOE research goals and targets * thermal dishes * towers * troughs * central generation * passive solar * solar water heating * solar heating and lighting * nanotechnology solar cells * organic solar cells * abbreviations and acronyms.
