The book contains chapters that discuss the futuristic applications of solar technologies rather than their conventional photothermic and photovoltaic applications. Each chapter in the book touches on new solar technology expected to contribute to the future of the industry. The chapters provide insight into the applications of solar-based systems like solar-based transportation by solar cars and airplanes, solar updraft power like solar chimneys or solar vortex, Agro-PV for the agricultural industry, and solar thermal energy storage. Each chapter is written to cover the fundamentals of each futuristic solar power system, as well as their advanced developments, which makes them useful at the undergraduate level, as well as the postgraduate and research levels.
