Workshop on Solar Energy: Fundamentals and Applications
The increasing demand of more energy consumption but low emissionsof greenhouse gases and pollutants has been motivating people to search for clean and renewable energy sources to replace conventional fossil fuels. Solar energy, which is plentiful, cheap, and widespread, is no doubt one of the most promising alternatives to power the world in a low carbon way. This workshop on solar energy is part of 1st ACTS (http://acts2017.org/?page_id=94), and aims to bring together leading researchers and engineers to share and discuss the latest experimental and theoretical advances and developments in solar energy. We are looking forward to seeing you in Korea.
