Summary
Details

In

1970 a small group of physicists at The Australian National University

decided to veer away from the accepted and expected directions in energy

research and pursued the emerging discipline of solar energy. Over the next

decade ANU joined a small cluster of research institutions, including the

CSIRO, UNSW and the University of Sydney, to emerge as a world leader in

solar energy technology. This book traces the history of solar energy

research at ANU over 35 years from its origin, its sometimes controversial

early stages, through its flagship projects to its current status as one of

the world’s best known solar energy research establishments. It is as much a

story of the future as it is a history: Following the sun is the story of how an idea to pursue what was in 1970 a new

and unpopular research path has come to underpin sustainable development in

the 21st Century.
