This compilation updates Library of Congress Science Tracer
Bullet 92-4, emphasizing the literature on three solar topics--passive
solar architecture, photovoltaics, and solar thermal engineering.
However, many of the sources listed in the Abstracting and Indexing
Services Section also provide references to literature on other
aspects of solar energy and its applications. Not intended to
be a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is designed--as the
name of the series implies--to put the readers “on target.”
