Title: Decade of the sun: program plan for the maximum implementation of solar energy through 1990. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5489673

This report presents 'a plan for the maximum feasible solar implementation in California by 1990'. Through a legislative mandate, the California Energy Commission has identified the technically feasible solar potential in the state, the policy options to approach the potential, and a reasonable estimate of solar use. This report only includes mature and direct solar technologies, both active and passive, that are commercially available and cost-effective when compared to the marginal cost of new, nonrenewable energy supplies. Decade of the Sun includes an assessment of the status and potential of solar technologies in the residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural sectors, and makes policy recommendations to the legislature.
