A lively and authoritative account of today’s photovoltaic (PV) technology and its practical applications
This book covers areas including:
- a brief history of PV, and the current international scene;
- the scientific principles of solar cells including silicon and new thin-film varieties;
- PV modules and arrays;
- grid-connected PV, from home systems up to large power plants;
- the wide diversity of stand-alone PV systems, and;
