Neutrino-electron scattering experiments can elucidate the flavor content, spectrum shape, intensity, time dependence, and angular distribution of solar neutrinos. The author presents detailed calculations for all of the important solar neutrino sources of the predicted energy and angular dependence of the recoil electrons, as well as the total cross sections. In addition, the author discusses how neutrino-electron experiments can help distinguish between various proposed solutions of the solar neutrino problem.
