* A reliable, accessible and comprehensive guide for students of photovoltaic applications, brimming with information and carefully designed to meet the needs of its readers * Features exercises and recommends further reading at the end of each chapter, and provides detailed technical appendices with essential equations, data sources and standardsPhotovoltaics manufacturing and engineering has been growing at an exponential rate, and with this growth comes an increase in the number of people studying the subject. This has resulted in the demand for a reliable, accessible and comprehensive guide for students of photovoltaic (PV) applications and renewable energy engineering.The award-winning authors present a thoroughly considered textbook that is brimming with information and carefully designed to meet the needs of its readers. Along with exercises and recommended further reading at the end of each chapter, the book features a set of detailed technical appendices that provide essential equations, data sources and standards. The book is well illustrated and readable, with an abundance of diagrams and illustrations, and will provide the reader with all the information needed to work with photovoltaics.Related Titles: Understanding Renewable Energy Systems 1-84407-128-6 (2004) Planning and Installing Photovoltaic Systems 1-84407-131-6 (2004) Solar Energy Pocket Reference 1-84407-306-8 (2005)

Industry Reviews

'Recommended reading for any course which deals with hands-on aspects of photovoltaic systems and applications. Earthscan should be applauded'
Tom Markvart, University of Southampton

'An excellent introduction to the science, principles and practice of photovoltaic energy conversion.'
Jenny Nelson, Professor of Physics, Imperial College, London, UK

'The leading research, teaching and engineering group has made another important contribution to photovoltaic education.'
Allen Barnett, Senior Policy Fellow, Center for Energy and Environmental Policy, University of Delaware, USA.

'This book will make an excellent reference for engineers and scientists involved in photovoltaics. The breadth of knowledge contained within and the detailed equations to support it, as well as being an easy reading style will enable people to get to the understanding of why PV systems are put together the way they are - well beyond rules of thumb.'
Mike Dymond, Sowilo Engineering Pty Ltd for Solar Progress

'Recommended reading for any course which deals with hands-on aspects of photovoltaic systems and applications. Earthscan should be applauded.'
