Applied Photovoltaics |
|
Photovoltaics manufacturing and engineering has been growing
at an exponential rate. This guide provides information that
has been carefully designed to meet the needs of the students
of photovoltaic applications and renewable energy engineering.
Along with exercises and recommended further reading at the
end of each chapter, the book features a set of detailed
technical appendices, which provide essential equations, data
sources and standards.

|
This compendium incorporates the most recent technological
advances and research developments in photovoltaics (PV).
Topics covered in this book include scientific basis of the PV
effect and solar cell operation; the production of solar
silicon and silicon-based solar cells and modules; the science
and technology of thin-film PV technologies; semiconductor
materials and their influence on production costs and
performance; new types of organic dye-based solar cells; PV
system installation and operation of components such as
inverters and batteries; and architectural applications of
building-integrated PV. |

Beyond Oil and Gas: The Methanol Economy |
|
The chemistry Nobel Laureate George A. Olah and his colleagues
discuss in a clear and readily accessible manner the use of
methanol as a viable alternative to our diminishing fossil
fuel resources. They look at the pros and cons of our current
main energy sources, namely oil and natural gas, varied
renewable energies and new ways to overcome obstacles. The
authors look at the inter-relation of fuels and energy, and at
the extent of our non-renewable fossil fuel resources. The
authors point out the continuing need for hydrocarbons and
their products despite their negative effects, and also
discuss the envisioned hydrogen economy and its significant
shortcomings.
