Boy, I thought you really mean solar power themed fiction. There's that Heinlein book about that, if anyone can remember its title. I was going to ask for space whaling fiction next. :-)

Sunstroke is a sensational solar themed novel. Hard Science SF. Art Bell's favorite author. Heard Mr. Bell interview Dr David Kagan on his Coast to Coast radio show. Bought it and read it three times. Wish he'd write more.
