Developments in solar energy utilisation in the United Kingdom
Abstract
The paper outlines the main lines of research and development currently being undertaken in the United Kingdom for solar energy applications. A brief discussion of the radiation climate is included, along with a review of activities in the photovoltaic, photochemical, and photobiological fields. Wind power is also receiving renewed interest. A major conclusion is that many workers believe solar energy can make a significant contribution to the energy requirements of the country, although this is not as yet the official government viewpoint.
