Photovoltaic engineering is of an interdisciplinary nature. The engineer needs accurate knowledge from several fields -- semiconductor devices, materials, solar radiation, statistics, etc. -- for design and analysis. The main objective of this book is to summarize these various topics clearly. TOPICS include: * energy problems and photovoltaic solutions * the solar cell * the photovoltaic generator * the photovoltaic system * solar radiation * sizing of stand-alone photovoltaic systems * applications of photovoltaics * manufacturing technology for silicon solar cells * concentration cells and systems * bibliography.
