The situation in solar neutrino physics has changed drastically in the past few years, so that now there are four neutrino experiments in operation, using different methods to look at different regions of the solar neutrino energy spectrum. These experiments are the radiochemical Cl-37 Homestake detector, the realtime Kamiokande detector, and the different forms of radiochemical Ga-71 detectors used in the GALLEX and SAGE projects. It is noteworthy that all of these experiments report a deficit of observed neutrinos relative to the predictions of standard solar models (although in the case of the gallium detectors, the statistical errors are still relatively large). This paper reviews the basic principles of operation of these neutrino detectors, reports their latest results, and discusses some theoretical interpretations. The progress of three real-time neutrino detectors that are currently under construction, SuperKamiok, SNO, and Borexino, is also discussed.
