《太陽能》是國際太陽能協(xié)會(huì)的官方刊物，專門研究太陽能應(yīng)用的科學(xué)和技術(shù)。該協(xié)會(huì)成立于1954年，現(xiàn)為非營利教育和科學(xué)機(jī)構(gòu)。ISES?參與了100個(gè)國家，是太陽能利用研究和開發(fā)信息中心。該協(xié)會(huì)通過其出版物和贊助技術(shù)會(huì)議，為積極審議太陽能提供了一個(gè)世界論壇。太陽能歡迎提供以前未在期刊上發(fā)表的有關(guān)太陽能研究、開發(fā)、應(yīng)用、測(cè)量或政策方面的信息的手稿。在這方面，術(shù)語“太陽能”包括風(fēng)能和生物量等間接用途。由于太陽能的國際性，僅涉及特定國家的太陽輻射或風(fēng)能數(shù)據(jù)庫的文章通常不被認(rèn)為適用于太陽能。提交的手稿可以是原始研究報(bào)告的形式，也可以是對(duì)某一特定領(lǐng)域重要前期工作的審查。所有的手稿都要經(jīng)過審查，以確保準(zhǔn)確性、清晰性和長期價(jià)值。不適用于太陽能的一般感興趣的手稿應(yīng)提交給再聚焦，再聚焦出版了關(guān)于可再生能源各方面的雜志式專題文章。請(qǐng)給編輯David Hopwood發(fā)電子郵件了解更多詳細(xì)信息（d.hopwood@elsevier.co.uk），并訪問http://www.re-focus.net。

Solar Energy, the official journal of the International Solar Energy Society?, is devoted exclusively to the science and technology of solar energy applications.The Society was founded in 1954 and is now incorporated as a non-profit educational and scientific institution. With participation encompassing 100 countries, ISES? serves as a centre for information on research and development in solar energy utilisation. Through its publications and its sponsorship of technical conferences, the Society provides a world forum for the active consideration of solar energy.Solar Energy welcomes manuscripts presenting information not previously published in journals on any aspect of solar energy research, development, application, measurement or policy. The term "solar energy" in this context includes the indirect uses such as wind energy and biomass. Because of the international character of Solar Energy, articles that deal solely with the solar radiation or wind data base of a specific country are not normally considered suitable for Solar Energy. Submitted manuscripts may take the form of reports of original studies or reviews of significant prior work in a given area. All manuscripts are subject to reviews to assure accuracy, clarity, and long-term value.Manuscripts of general interest not being suitable for Solar Energy should be submitted to Refocus, which publishes magazine-style feature articles concerning all aspects of renewable energy.
