The intention of this book is to provide an impression of all
aspects of p- tovoltaics (PV). It is not just about physics and
technology or systems, but it looks beyond that at the entire
environment in which PV is embedded. The ?rst chapter is intended
as an introduction to the subject. It can also be considered an
executive summary. Chapters 2-4 describe very brie?y the basic
physics and technology of the solar cell. The silicon cell is the
vehicle for this description because it is the best understood
solar cell and also has the greatest practical importance. A reader
who is not interested in the ph- ical details of the solar cell can
skip Chap.2 and still understand the rest of the book. In general,
it was the intention of the authors to keep the book at a level
that does not require too much previous knowledge of photovoltaics.
Chapter5isdevotedtoothermaterialsandnewconceptspresentlyunder-
velopment or consideration. It intends to provide an impression of
the many possibilities that exist for the conversion of solar
radiation into electricity by solid state devices. These new
concepts will keep researchers occupied for decades to come.
Chapter 6 gives an introduction to cell and module techn- ogy and
also informs the reader about the environmental compatibility and
recycling of modules. The following chapters are devoted to
practical applications. Chapters 7 and 8 introduce systems
technology for di?erent applications. The envir- mental impact of
PV systems and their reliability is the subject of Chap.9.
