Photovoltaic

Konrad Mertens

Textbook Fundamentals, Technology and Practice

How do solar cells work? Which technologies and concepts are there? How to plan a complete photovoltaic installation? This textbook answers these questions. It explains fundamental physical and electro-technical issues related to photovoltaic. The main focus is the system technology with information about cell and module circuitry and integration with the electrical grit of photovoltaic sites. The text describes the most up-to-date metrology for solar modules and the projected technical and economic development of photovoltaic energy genera-tion. Each chapter comes with various exercises.

The text contains many examples that help in the understanding of the design of photovoltaic installations, making this book an indispensable work for engineering students, technicians and electronics specialists.

 

The 4th edition has been completely revised and updated. It describes the most modern test methods for photovoltaic installations.

 

From the contents: Introduction; Radiation Output of the Sun; Fundamentals of Semi-Conductor Physics; Design and Function of a Solar Cell; Cell Technologies; Solar Modules and Solar Generators; System Technology of Network Linked Installations; Storage of Solar Energy; Photovoltaic Metrology; Planning and Operation of Network Linked Installations; Future Developments.
