It provides detailed coverage of technology and financing options (including recent and future trends in PV technology), potential social benefits such as desalination and agricultural development, and environmental and ecological impacts of systems and how these can be monitored, illustrated by case studies from the Sahara and Gobi Deserts. The concluding section consists of a roadmap outlining the options and opportunities for future implementation of VLS-PV. Building on the key concepts and case studies of previous volumes, this will be a key text for policy-makers and investors in the field. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kosuke Kurokawa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1844073637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844073634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.78h x 8.62w x 0.78d","brand":"Kosuke Kurokawa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088871993599,"sku":"9781844073634","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e12cc7b2-b7e4-4b6c-9d06-ab0fa85e9628.jpg?v=1769107003","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/energy-from-the-desert-kosuke-kurokawa-9781844073634","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
