Domestic Policy Review of Solar Energy. Research, Design and Development Panel final report
The Solar Energy Policy Committee was directed to review the current Federal programs related to research, development, and demonstration and to develop policy options and recommendations to accelerate the use of solar energy, in both the short and long term. The Panel examined priorities and policies of the existing research programs to determine whether they can be improved. Each technology's current scientific status, economic competitiveness, and promise for engineering, scientific, and economic advances were reviewed in order to determine the potential for making a contribution to the nation's energy needs and how that potential might be realized by Federally supported research. The following solar research strategies are considered: heating and cooling; agricultural and industrial process heat; solar thermal; photovoltaics; wind energy; ocean thermal; biomass; small scale hydropower; support to lesser developed countries; and solar-powered satellite.
