The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Solar energy, Photovoltaic system, Optics, Meteorology and Thermal. While the primary focus in Solar Energy is Solar energy, it also dissects topics surrounding Thermal energy storage and Energy storage as a whole. The research on Photovoltaic system tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Power (physics), Maximum power point tracking, Optoelectronics, Solar cell and Automotive engineering.
Solar Energy focuses on Optoelectronics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Layer (electronics) and Thin film. The presented Solar cell research focuses mostly on Energy conversion efficiency and, on occasion, topics in Chemical engineering. Optics studies presented in the journal focus on topics such as Radiation and Concentrator.
The work on Meteorology tackled in Solar Energy brings together disciplines like Atmospheric sciences and Irradiance. The studies on Irradiance discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Solar irradiance and Remote sensing. Issues in Thermal were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Mechanics, Heat transfer and Thermal efficiency.
The journal publications mostly deal with topics like Solar energy, Photovoltaic system, Meteorology, Optics and Thermal. The works on Solar energy tackled in the most cited papers bring together disciplines like Nuclear engineering, Process engineering and Thermal energy storage, Thermodynamics. The most cited papers address concerns in the field of Meteorology by exploring it in line with topics in Remote sensing which intersect with Sky subjects.
The journal facilitates discussions on Photovoltaic system, Optoelectronics, Energy conversion efficiency, Chemical engineering and Solar cell. Solar Energy explores topics in Photovoltaic system which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Power (physics), Electricity generation, Thermal, Automotive engineering and Solar energy. It explores issues in Thermal which can be linked to other research areas like Composite material and Thermal efficiency.
The studies in Optoelectronics featured incorporate elements of Layer (electronics) and Perovskite (structure). It addresses concerns in the field of Chemical engineering by exploring it in line with topics in Dye-sensitized solar cell which intersect with Auxiliary electrode subjects. The journal focused on Solar cell research but expanded to cover Thin film.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Solar Energy (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Solar Energy (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 6.05% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.84% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.15% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.07% of all publications and 74.94% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)Pursuing a degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering opens numerous career pathways, both in traditional settings and through flexible online programs. Many students seek affordable online colleges to balance quality education with budget-friendly options, making advanced degrees more accessible than ever.
For non-traditional students, such as stay-at-home parents, there are specially designed programs highlighted in degrees for stay at home moms. These programs offer flexible schedules and support systems to accommodate family commitments while advancing technical skills.
Supplementing a formal degree with targeted certifications can boost career prospects. Many institutions now offer 6-week online courses with certificates in engineering fundamentals and specialized topics, allowing professionals to upskill efficiently without long-term commitments.
For those focused specifically on engineering, it’s crucial to explore online mechanical engineering degree programs that combine accredited coursework with hands-on virtual learning. These options provide a practical route to entering or advancing in the dynamic fields of mechanical and aerospace engineering.
