OSTI ID:7176899

An overview of the US Department of Energy Solar Energy Program in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Conservation and Solar Energy is presented. The solar technologies are biomass energy systems, photovoltaic energy systems, wind energy conversion systems, solar thermal power, ocean systems, agricultural and industrial process heat, active solar heating and cooling, and passive and hybrid solar heating and cooling. The status of the solar programs in each of these technology areas is reviewed, and proposed FY 1981 activities are presented. Also, the Solar Energy Program is described by functional breakdown including technology base; environment, health, and safety and social impact; market analysis; technology development; systems development; market tests and applications; market development and training; and international solar programs. Appendices include markets and applications for solar technologies, solar resources, solar energy policy and related legislation, and geographic distribution of research activities. (WHK)
