Concentrator Photovoltaics
Photovoltaic solar-energy conversion is one of the most promising technologies
for generating renewable energy, and conversion of concentrated sunlight can
lead to reduced cost for solar electricity. In fact, photovoltaic conversion
of concentrated sunlight insures an efficient and cost-effective sustainable
power resource. This book gives an overview of all components, e.g. cells, concentrators,
modules and systems, for systems of concentrator photovoltaics. The authors
report on significant results related to design, technology, and applications,
and also cover the fundamental physics and market considerations. Specific contributions
include: theory and practice of sunlight concentrators; an overview of concentrator
PV activities; a description of concentrator solar cells; design and technology
of modules and systems; manufacturing aspects; and a market study.
