DESCRIPTION:
Limited availability of grid-based electricity is a major challenge faced by many developing countries, particularly the rural population. It is also suitable for undergraduate students in the fields of environmental science, electrical engineering and renewable energy.. Fuel-based lighting, such as the kerosene lantern, is widespread in these areas, but it is a poor alternative, contributing to global warming and causing serious health problems. The authors pay particular attention to the interplay between energy transformation and device efficiency. Several developing countries are therefore now encouraging the use of sustainable lighting.Solar Lighting gives an in-depth analysis of energy-efficient light production through the use of solar-powered LED systems. They also discuss diverse aspects of renewable energy, including how an improvement in the efficiency of appliances can reduce the cost of energy.Solar Lighting is written for physicists, enviro

great book! frank isenhart This book is an awesome book and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in solar lighting. At first I thought this book was going to be a text book that I could use to teach some of my green school students with but that was not the case. Instead it was a fun read (not to complicated) that talked
