Excellent Intro to Solar Cells / Solar Electric PowerJul 09, 2000
This brief introduction to solar electric power should be everyone's first book on this exciting field. The book is very clearly written, broad in scope, and very current. The author and his lab have made major recent contributions to solar cell development, and the love for the subject shows in this work.There are nonmathematical chapters on quantum phyics and solar cell design, and many paths for their further development. Then their uses are described in powering devices, houses, buildings, and large-scale possibilities. My only disappointment was that the author does not discuss the fundamental limitations on solar cell efficiency, so I still have no idea where this boundary lies.
