- Peter,
-
- The textbook we are using for my solar systems engineering course is:
-
- "Solar Energy Engineering" by Jui Sheng Hsieh, Prentice-Hall Inc. Englewood
- Cliffs N.J.
-
- They also list a publisher in Australia: Prentice-Hall of Australia Pty.
- Ltd, Sydney.
-
- He has a good chapter on solar energy collectors - selective absorber
- surfaces, transparent plates, collector energy losses, thermal analysis of
- collectors, air-heating collectors, etc. Also info on construction
- materials and their heat transfer capabilities.
