The
Solar Energy Center emphasizes a regional approach to research
into using the sun’s radiant energy for heating water; lighting,
heating, and cooling buildings; and generating electricity. Work
includes expanded collection and improved monitoring of insolation
data in Oregon, evaluation of basic solar cell parameters, and
development of passive solar design information in solar heating,
passive cooling, photovoltaics, and “daylighting.”
The center’s efforts include the development and distribution
of information; the development of needed technology and the facilitation
of its application; and the study of legal, economic, and technical
problems that accompany solar energy development in this region. |

In addition to continuing publications, the center sponsors frequent
seminars attended by university and community people involved in
various aspects of solar energy use. Courses in solar energy are
offered in the architecture; planning, public policy and management;
and physics departments. |
