Journal: Applied Solar Energy
Year: 2020

While the total installed capacity of the world’s solar heat supply is 480 GW (600 million m2), it is 68 MW in Russia (85 000 m2). The study presents data on five major Soviet scientific solar engineering schools, four research and design institutes, and seven solar collector factories. It mentions the leaders of solar technology in the theoretical foundations (Dr. Sci. (Tech.) B.P. Weinberg), the designs of solar collectors (SCs) (Cand. Sci. (Tech.) B.V. Petukhov), solar thermal units (Dr. Sci.
