The Life of the Solar Pioneer Karl Wolfgang B er Karl W Boeer

The Life of the Solar Pioneer Karl Wolfgang Böer is the most comprehensive

Autobiography of a world-renowned Scientist and Engineer who has been at the

forefront of the development of solar energy throughout his life. He has been

instrumental to show the direction solar energy conversion must go to become the

key element of future energy production worldwide. With the Solar One House of

the University of Delaware, he has given the direction the solar houses of the future

will progress to generate electric power and heat in a systems house to provides

load leveling for power utilities, and has now published the theory of the new solar

cell that does no longer need a pn-junction to separate the electrons from the holes

that sunlight creates, but a thin layer of attached cadmium sulfide that provides the

separation efficiently and inexpensively.
