Synopsis

This book provides an extensive overview of utility scale solar project development and the various tasks required to bring large solar power plants from plans to realities. The various topics have been organized and presented in a way to clearly define important development fundamentals including basic business and legal considerations. The reader is also guided through the more complex aspects of renewable energy development such as how to choose the ideal project site. Further, while the book is appropriate for a cover to cover read-through it is also designed to be an excellent go-to reference, a HANDBOOK FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT.

From the Back Cover

Solar energy offers many positive attributes for the world; however a major hindrance to its widespread implementation is the understanding required to develop projects to completion. This book written by practicing international experts in the solar energy field, enables readers to understand solar project development and the primary stumbling blocks in the process. It also contains a an overview of all solar energy technologies, project financing, legal considerations, insurance & risk management, the technical development activities required, and an overview to software & mapping tools commonly used in the industry. The book will not only serve as a guide to energy developers but it will also assist policy makers, engineers, and students of solar energy in understanding the process involved to turn the energy of the sun into electricity and the reasons for supporting solar. Further, the tools and methods described therein are a sound foundation not just to solar but all renewable energy technologies. It is A Handbook for Global Renewable Energy Development.
