Aimed at engineers, architects and anyone involved in the field of building-integrated photovoltaics, Designing with Solar Power encapsulates five years of work by more than 30 experts in the fields of research, development and design.

Despite its depth, however, the book is easily accessible, and has an international flavour thanks to the 20 case studies featuring projects from around the world. These describe in detail how building-integrated photovoltaics have been applied to new and existing buildings, as well as discussing the architectural and technical quality and success of the various strategies.

Chapters not only cover the basics of solar power and electrical concepts, but also investigate the ways in which photovoltaics can be integrated into the design of buildings equipped for the demands of the 21st century. The book also considers broader issues such as market deployment and international marketing and government strategies. Designing with Solar Power is published by Earthscan and is priced £50.
