Contents:
Solar cells -- PV modules and arrays -- Grid-connected PV systems -- Stand-alone PV systems -- Photovoltaic manufacturing -- PV growth and sustainability.
Summary: "Praised for its visual appeal, conversational style and clear explanation of complex ideas with minimal mathematics. Electricity from sunlight has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect advances in the global PV market, economics and installed capacity. Key features of the 2nd edition include: A timely update of the advances of photovaltaics (PV), with major new material on grid-connected systems. More in-depth treatment of PV scientific principles, solar cells, modules, and systems Up-to-date coverage of the PV market including conversion efficiencies and the expansion of grid-friendly power plants. End-of-chapters questions to support instructors and students through guided self-study. New chapters on manufacturing processes and on materials and other resources availability. New large-scale PV sections covering the growth of global capacity, utility-scale PV and affordable solutions for intermittency. Systems analysis of new applications empowered by low-cost PV, such as energy storage and water destination. Significantly expanded economics and environmental section explaining level cost of electricity versus upfront costs, energy return on investments, and lifecycle analysis. Electricity from sunlight: photovoltaic-system integration and sustainability, second edition is an essential primer for new entrants to the PV industry, needing a basic appreciation of complete PV systems, and to students on undergraduate and graduate courses on renewable energy and photovoltaics. It also offers a unique treatise of the sustainability of emerging transformative technologies, which makes it useful to both system analysis and energy policy strategies."--Back cover
