i am planning to go for a bachelor in electrical engineering, but I am not sure if it is right for solar power.

I concur. Also relevant courses in materials (materials science & engineering) would be beneficial.Nick M said:For photovoltaics I would also say EE.
For things such as solar heated boilers or wind energy I would say ME.
For alternative fuels I would say ChemE.
#1 discipline in my opinion for photovoltaics is chemistry followed closely by material science. Although condensed matter physics and electrical engineering aren't a bad way to go either but most of the development being done is by chemists. Every PV seminar I have gone to have been by inorganic and organic chemists.
FirstYearGrad said:I base this on the fact that the majority of the faculty working on solar cells at my institution are EE's.
A Bachelor in Electrical Engineering for Solar Power is a degree program that focuses on the study and application of electrical engineering principles for the development and utilization of solar power technologies.
