<p> <b>Thoroughly updated overview of photovoltaic technology, from materials to modules and systems</b> <p>Volume 2 of <i>Photovoltaic Solar Energy </i>provides fundamental and contemporary knowledge about various photovoltaic technologies in the framework of material science, device physics of solar cells, chemistry for manufacturing, engineering of PV modules, and the design aspects of photovoltaic applications, with the aim of informing the reader about the basic knowledge of each aspect of photovoltaic technologies and applications in the context of the most recent advances in science and engineering. <p>The text is written by leading specialists for each topic in a concise manner and includes the most recent references for deeper study. Moreover, the book gives insights into possible future developments in the field of photovoltaics. <p>The book builds on the success of Volume 1 of <i>Photovoltaic Solar Energy</i>, which was published by Wiley in January 2017. As science and technology is progressing fast in some areas of photovoltaics, several topics needed to be readdressed. Volume 2 also covers some basic aspects of the subject that were not addressed in Volume 1. <p>Sample topics covered in <i>Photovoltaic Solar Energy </i>include: <ul><li>Solar Irradiance Resources</li><li>Crystalline Silicon Technologies (Cz Ingots, TOPCon, Heterojunction, Passivating contacts, Hydrogenation and Carrier Induced Degradation)</li><li>Perovskite and Tandem solar cells</li><li>Characterization and Measurements</li><li>PV Modules</li><li>PV Systems and Applications (integration in buildings, agriculture, water, vehicles)</li><li>Sustainability</li></ul> <p>Providing comprehensive coverage of the subject, <i>Photovoltaic Solar Energy </i>is an essential resource for undergraduate and graduate students in science or engineering, young professionals in PV research or the PV industry, professors, teachers, and PV specialists who want to receive updated information. A scientific or engineering degree is a prerequisite.
