Preface
Solar photovoltaic (PV) represented 55% of the new renewable energy installations in 2017, with a total global capacity of 402 GW, exceeding combined fossil fuels and nuclear power additions, according to the Renewables 2018 Global Status Report (REN2018). At the same time, the global operating commercial capacity of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) reached 4.9 GW in 2017 (REN2018) and is expected to double by 2020 (IEA SolarPACES Technology Collaboration Programmes), while the global capacity of solar water heating collectors was estimated to be 472 GW thermal at the end of 2017 (REN2018). To ensure the technological sustainability of the deep and growing penetration of solar power, a thorough knowledge and characterization of solar reso
