editing. Giorgos Papakonstantinou together with Dimitris Deligiannis are acknowledged
for providing some of the text and figures for Chapter 14. We thank Arianna Tozzi for text
and visual material regarding the model estimating the effect of wind speed and irradiance
on the module temperature that is presented in Section 20.3. We are grateful for the
information on real-life PV systems provided by Stephan van Berkel. Ravi Vasudevan and
Do Yun Kim are acknowledged for many discussions on PV systems, Mirjam Theelen for
giving feedback on CIGS and CdTe technologies, and Andrea Ingenito for his insights on
the fabrication of crystalline silicon solar cells. We want to thank Wilson Smith and Paula
Perez Rodriguez for their support on the chapter on solar fuels, Christiane Becker from
Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin for her remarks on thin-film c-Si solar cells, Rowan MacQueen
from the University of New South Wales for his review on third-generation concepts, and
Nishant Narayan for his assistance in developing exercises and for contributing to the PV
Systems part. Further, we thank all students who followed the lectures at Delft University
of Technology or the MOOC Solar Energy, and who provided us with feedback and
helped us to reduce the number of typing errors and mistakes.
Enjoy the book!
