In 1973, Dr. BAper created the Solar One house, the first house to convert sunlight into electricity and heat. His leadership made a lasting impact on science, engineering, and the solar industry. The Life of the Solar Pioneer Karl Wolfgang BAper describes the life of one of the most influential and recognized solar energy pioneers. It is a must read for anyone interested in the modern development of solar energy, BAperas dynamic life as one of the key movers in the field, and his world authority in CdS (Cadmium sulfide). It provides rare insight into the personal life of a scientist growing up in turbulent postwar Berlin. After his emigration to the USA and his transformation as a leader in solar energy, he set the direction for the future in significant ways: ac Bridged the divide between academia and industry ac Wrote over 350 science publications, dozens of books, and patents ac Created the most successful international solid state physics journal ac Promoted worldwide implementation of solar energyAt first, he followed the instruction manual that came with his chemistry set, but then he looked up experiments from other books, such as Die Chemie im Haushalt (Chemistry in the Household). He quickly learned the properties and uses ofanbsp;...
