    About this ebook

    The Book of Abstract of SuNEC 2013: The international Conference on solar energy featuring the lectures of Yuri Baurov, Raymond Wong, Francesco Meneguzzo, Nino Arico' and Ottavio Cappellani.

    New Nature force discovered by Baurov coupled to solar energy, and to nautical traction. Cappellani's insight into the energy crisis. Arico's findings into electrochemical valorization of carbon dioxide.

    A full account not to be missed from one of Europe's premiere meetings in solar energy science.

      The Conference

      Showcasing the work of some the leading researchers in the field of solar energy, and bringing together young researchers with distinguished scientists, SuNEC 2013 will hopefully provide good learning and networking opportunities for the welcome delegates from 10 different countries.

      Organometallic-based new photovoltaics, new Nature force coupled to solar energy, mathematical modeling, leaf-like photosynthetic materials, design of innovative solar concentrators, solar light for chemistry (organic synthesis and essential oil extraction), solar driven conversion of CO2 and progress with dye solar cells.

      A fast overview on the communication to the Conference renders the scope and relevance of contemporary solar energy science and technology presented at SuNEC 2013.

      The speakers invited to present their outstanding results on these topics are among the leading practitioners of research in solar energy: An exciting field that is knowing a renaissance.

      In the meanwhile, existing solar energy technologies are eventually impacting economies and the environment.

      Since its inception Solar energy. Now has been the Conference`s manifesto, pointing to the very fact that the solar energy economy – Helionomics – is clearly emerging.

      This is evident both in Europe’s leading industrial nations, Germany and Italy, as well as in economically developing countries.

      On June 16th, 2013 (a Sunday), for the first time in history in Italy where over 17 GW of PV power were installed in 5 years the purchase price of electricity between h 14:00 and 15:00 has reached the 0 Eur/kWh in the whole country, with 100% of Italy`s power demand being covered by the sun, in its PV, eolic and hydroelectric technology exploitation forms.

      Similary, one year before, on May 26th, 2012 (a Saturday) Germany`s solar power plants produced a world record 22 gigawatts of electricity -- equal to 20 nuclear power stations at full capacity -- through the midday hours.

      This large amount of solar power fed into the national grid met nearly 50 percent of the nation’s midday electricity needs (when factories and offices were closed); while it was able to meet a third of its electricity needs on the previous work day.

      Meanwhile in Bangladesh’s two million distributed solar home systems power off-grid homes proving that small-scale renewable energy has become affordable for off-grid areas where the economics are compelling and the need is great.

      And tens of millions people in either Bihar or Uttar Pradesh, Indian states that have off-grid populations larger than most European nations, look at solar power for the long awaited access to electricity.

      Hence, in place of a grid extension approach that is destroying the climate and displacing local communities, the political leaders of these states, responsible for hundreds of millions of un-electrified people, are getting very serious about off-grid, decentralized clean energy solutions.

      A revolution that is hitting disparate regions of the world.

      Sicily’s PV Research Pole

      Blessed with plentiful sunshine, Sicily is one of the first Europe’s region that has already reached the grid-parity, namely the point at which the price of photovoltaic electricity equals that of power purchased from
