About this title

Synopsis

Photovoltaic (PV) cells, made from semiconductors and free of polluting emissions, provide clean, reversible electrical power from the sun. In this book, experts in the field review recent technology and discuss future prospects. Contributors include materials scientists, physicists, production engineers, economists, and environmentalists. Early technical chapters deal with PV cell design, device physics, and the main cell types. Later chapters deal with PV systems, manufacturers, markets, and economics, and are accessible without technical knowledge. Some specific topics include organic photovoltaic devices, cells and systems for space applications, and the PV business. Archer teaches at the Center for Energy Policy and Technology at Imperial College, London. Hill was a leading figure in the photovoltaic community until his death in 1999. The book is distributed in the US by World Scientific. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
