Preface
Solar Energy Drying Systems: A Preview The purpose of this book is to answer questions related to the substitution of fossil fuels for electricity generation for the home or industry using solar platform. The projections are that in the next 50 years, mobility and energy/electrical demand will increase, necessitating a contribution of renewable energy sources including solar energy that will become a significant mix in the energy portfolio. Part of this portfolio will utilize thermal, metal or metal oxide for storage energy, and part is direct energy generation and usage. The application of renewables such as solar energy is attractive because it further addresses the need to lower greenhouse gas emissions, which in turn leads to lower environmental pollu
