Abstract :
The IEEE hereby revises and strengthens its position in support of vigorous development and deployment of solar energy systems. This revision is in recognition of advances that recent analyses have made in the various solar technologies and their prospective economics. There is increasing promise that renewable energy sources derived from the sun will be able to significantly alleviate our dependence on the limited resources of fossil and uranium fuels with consequent benefits to our economy, environment and national security. Therefore the IEEE recommends that the development and utilization of solar energy be given the same high priority as conservation in national energy policy.
