Photovoltaic cells provide clean, reversible electrical power from
the sun. Made from semiconductors, they are durable, silent in
operation and free of polluting emissions. In this book, experts
from all sectors of the PV community - materials scientists,
physicists, production engineers, economists and environmentalists
- give their critical appraisals of where the technology is now and
what its prospects are. Two sample chapters - "crystalline silicon
solar cells" and "photovoltaic modules, systems and applications"
are now available online.
