Photovoltaics


Book Description

This guide is designed to help you find information about photovoltaics. It includes a brief history, some technology basics, and descriptions of current research and development activities. It was compiled primarily for engineers, scientists, university researchers, manufacturers, planners, librarians, and others needing a reference guide on photovoltaics. The references in this guide do not represent all the material that is available on a specific topic, however. Our objective was to identify what we believe to be the most helpful sources of information. The references were selected according to their relevance to a particular topic, how frequently they are cited in the professional literature, and their availability. The Photovoltaics Technical Information Guide, Second Edition, was produced by the Solar Technical Information Program for the U.S. Department of Energy .
