how to use the cells for optimum energy yield.
In this book, first a comprehensive and clear treatment of the fundamental aspects of
photovoltaic energy conversion is given. Subsequently, both existing and emerging
solarcell technologies are discussed, and a number of new approaches for future efficiency
improvements, like spectral conversion, are introduced. Next an introduction is given into
both off-grid and grid-connected photovoltaic systems. This book is completed with an
overview of other solar technologies such as flat plate solar collectors and CSP
technologies, and solar fuels.
This is an excellent book for education and self-teaching at academic level, but it can
also be used by those having a technical background. Though the emphasis is on
photovoltaics, the book gives a very good overview of other solar-energy technologies as
well.
