Publications
The NREL Publications Database contains bibliographic information about publications developed or written by NREL staff and subcontractors. Search the database for publications from 1977 to the present on subjects related to renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies. Many publications are available electronically as Adobe Acrobat PDFs.
The database includes technical reports, journal articles, conference papers, patents, presentations, books, fact sheets, and brochures. Note: Some links to journal articles may only be accessible for those with an existing subscription to that journal. Purchase of the individual paper may be an option.
Access publication citations and full text when available.
