Photovoltaics : system design and practice

Author:	Heinrich Haberlin; Herbert Eppel
Publisher:	Hoboken, N.J. : Wiley, ©2012.
Edition/Format:	eBook : Document : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	This book gives a broad overview to the topic before looking at solar radiation and its energy potential. The design and operation of solar cells are treated in detail, but only so far as it is necessary to understand operation and possible operational problems of photovoltaic (PV) plants and to appreciate possible further technical developments and improvements in the future. The layout and construction of entire Read more...
