Solar energy or energy from the Sun is the energy of future. The energy will serve the mankind s all requirement of energy in various form. Interestingly this is also the answer to all problems associated with traditional forms of energy now in use and taken for granted eventually to save the planet esp. against the calamities resulting from global warming and climate change  not just fashionable to talk about.The present book whilst dealing with all aspects of exploiting solar energy in all forms the main focus of the book is on describing the generation of electricity from solar energy. A major part of contents deals with the design installation and operation of rooftop solar systems on the author s roof covering a time span of over ten years. The other important gadget on the roof top is more than twenty years old  Solar Water Heater that works using solar energy in direct form providing round-the-clock hot water in the house the system requiring little maintenance has paid over itself many years ago. An important feature of the book is a detailed discussion on the application of solar energy in health care industry to improve and modernise working of hospitals and health-care centres in the interest of patients and the environment and proving use of electrical energy from the Sun to be most cost effective.The last chapter deals with a comprehensive list of  frequently asked questions or FAQs with answers. This is aimed to help readers clarify all queries that might naturally arise to learn more about varied aspects of solar energy and encourage them to exploit solar energy in various forms mainly to set up a rooftop to generate electricity from the Sun availing it free in a few years after a moderate initial investment to set up a suitable rooftop solar system.
