    The solar energy engineering minor covers three modules. Module I discusses measuring solar radiation using various instruments. Module II covers non-concentrating and concentrating solar collectors as well as solar greenhouses. Module III examines various solar powered applications like air conditioning and water pumping along with photovoltaic cells, energy storage, and solar ponds. The minor recommends two primary textbooks and three reference books on topics like solar thermal processes, renewable energy sources, and energy studies.
