Photovoltaics for Commercial and Utilities Power Generation is
an in-depth review of the solar industry development, and present
day state-of-the-art. It emphasizes current and future applications
of photovoltaic equipment in the commercial and utility energy
sectors, highlighting its use in large scale power generating
plants operating in the U.S. deserts.
The book reviews all key aspects of the photovoltaic
technologies from a theoretical point of view, looking closely at
their design parameters, materials, manufacturing, quality and
performance. It also covers the practical applications, focusing on
large scale photovoltaics as a major alternative energy source. The
author examines the advantages and disadvantages of each of today s
solar technologies and projects them into the future in search of
optimized niche markets and maximum utilization.
Key technical issues related to: manufacturing and test
procedures, product quality and safety, field performance,
environmental impact, and other issues are thoroughly analyzed.
Lack of standardized manufacturing processes and operating
procedures, fluctuating political and regulatory policies, and the
different financing, legal and marketing aspects of the solar
industry are amidst the topics discussed in detail as well.
Photovoltaics for Commercial and Utilities Power Generation
provides a 360 degree view of today s solar energy products and the
related manufacturing and operating procedures. It exposes the
issues plaguing the solar industry, with the ultimate goal of
finding the best solutions as needed to bring photovoltaic
technologies to acceptable level of efficient, reliable and
cost-effective operation in large scale power generation
plants.
Large scale PV power generation is one of the keys to meeting
the energy and environmental demands of the 21st century. This book
identifies the major issues and suggests solutions to the obstacles
hindering the large scale deployment of photovoltaics in the U.S.
and abroad.
