This Conference is Organized Jointly by the ASME International Solar Energy Division (SED) and Advanced Energy Systems Division (AESD). This year it will be co-located with Heat Transfer, Fluids Engineering, and the Nano Institute.



ASME's Solar Energy Division was formed in 1966 from a group of ASME members interested in the application of solar energy to mechanical engineering systems. The Division's mission is to:

  • Promote the art, science, and practice of the mechanical engineering aspects of solar energy

  • Promote research to expand the solar energy knowledge base

  • Organize meetings and conferences that promote the dissemination of information between national and international experts in the solar energy industry, and

  • Assist in the education and training of new mechanical engineers in solar related technologies.
Solar related energy technologies broadly include wind energy, conservation, ocean thermal energy conversion and bioconversion as well as other solar technologies.

The Solar Energy Division also provides technical publications to its members, such as division newsletters and technical journals. The Journal of Solar Energy Engineering publishes technical papers and technical brief notes on all aspects of solar energy and renewable technologies.
