Author discusses more efficient solutions to solar power
BOSTON, June 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Frank C. Pao has spent more than 20 years working in the field of energy and technology. In his new book, "For the Beauty of Earth: Solutions to Net Zero Energy," he details how solar power can not only be functional, but attractive and versatile, helping to achieve net zero energy.
Since pioneering the development and deployment of Building Integrated Photovoltaic Thermal (BIPVT) technology in 2007, Pao has continually worked towards improvements in solar technology. BIPVT is a technology which merges Photovoltaics, a nonmechanical device that converts sunlight directly into electricity, with thermal systems, simultaneously providing both electric and thermal energy. This technology is the basis for his book.
"It is vital we look into building strong, well-insulated, and energy-efficient buildings that can withstand high winds, snowstorms, and fire that are equipped with BIPVT technology," Pao said. "Traditional solar panels are easily damaged by inclement weather, creating additional waste, filling up landfills."
Pao wants readers to understand just how important is to optimize the use of solar technology. "For the Beauty of Earth" covers multiple applications of BIPVT technology, including transportation, greenhouses, and more, and their long-term benefits.
"One of my reasons for writing this book is my concern for the coming generations," Pao said. "What kind of world are we leaving them? We have inherited a beautiful planet, and we should all try to treasure and preserve it. We have spent far more resources on weapons to destroy ourselves and planet Earth, but are reluctant to work together and save ourselves. Can we afford this anymore?"
Providing detailed cases of the application and success of BIPVT technology, Pao demonstrates the effectiveness, hoping to convey to readers the urgency and need for its integration.
