Power for the World, published by Pan Stanford Publishing, focuses on the scientific, technological, industrial, political, environmental and social implications of PV solar power. It includes contributions from 41 individuals from the world of academia, industry, and government and financial services.
Organized in three parts: “The Rising Sun in a Developing World”, “Solar Power for the World” and “PV Today and Forever,” it provides a historical summary of sector, identifies its major players, and offers bold strategies for its future development and implementation. Without spoiling the narrative, it’s safe to say that Palz, bearer of an Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, believes that the promise of solar power is only beginning to be realized.
As he points out in the text, while photovoltaic technologies have been around since the 1950s, it’s only since about 2005 that the market has enjoyed exponential growth. Even so, he says, it’s still managed to create more than 100,000 jobs around the world in recent years. Power for the World retails for $79, and is intended for both professional and general readers.
