Solar energy. From prototypes to working units but always the same obstacle: the cost

Abstract

The fraction of radiated energy from the sun intercepted by the earth is 20,000 times greater than world consumption in 1975. A house heated by solar energy and displayed at the 1975 Paris Fair had 45 M/sup 2/ of collector panels, a water thermal storage system of 3000 litres, 3 M/sup 2/ of photopiles, and a wind generator. A 400 W solar generator using silicon photovoltaic cells has been employed to drive an electric pump to draw 2700 litres/hour of water from a depth of 20 M.
