This textbook continues the high standards of previous editions in terms of the clarity with which it explains the technologies while offering high quality graphics. Individual chapters are all written by experts, but edited into a common style so that the level of detail is comparable across all chapters. * Paul Younger, University of Glasgow * A great introductory text for teaching, and an excellent reference for your bookshelf. It provides an excellent balance between technical content and practical application. * Ian Mason, University of Canterbury, NZ * The quality of illustrations in Renewable Energy , as well as the inclusion of energy data for North America, make this and its sister volume, Energy Systems and Sustainability , my top choice for any energy program in higher education. Overall excellent material to get undergraduate students engaged with the field before digging into the detail. The best book of its sort on the market. * Tom Norton, Harper A
