Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV) is one of the most promising
technologies to produce solar electricity at competitive prices.
High performing CPV systems with efficiencies well over 30% and
multi-megawatt CPV plants are now a reality. As a result of these
achievements, the global CPV market is expected to grow
dramatically over the next few years reaching cumulative installed
capacity of 12.5 GW by 2020. In this context, both new and
consolidated players are moving fast to gain a strategic advantage
in this emerging market. Written with clear, brief and
self-contained technical explanations, Handbook of Concentrator
Photovoltaic Technology provides a complete overview of CPV
covering: the fundamentals of solar radiation, solar cells,
concentrator optics, modules and trackers; all aspects of
characterization and reliability; case studies based on the
description of actual systems and plants in the field;
environmental impact, market potential and cost analysis. CPV
technology is at a key point of expansion. This timely handbook
aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of all CPV scientific,
technological and engineering background with a view to equipping
engineers and industry professionals with all of the vital
information they need to help them sustain the impetus of this
encouraging technology. Key features: * Uniquely combines an
explanation of the fundamentals of CPV systems and components with
an overview of the market place and their real-life applications. *
Each chapter is written by well-known industry specialists with
extensive expertise in each particular field of CPV technology. *
Reviews the basic concepts of multi-junction solar cells and new
concepts for CPV cells, highlighting the key differences between
them. * Demonstrates the state of the art of several CPV centres
and companies. * Facilitates future cost calculation models for
CPV. * Features extensive case studies in each chapter, including
coverage of CPV modules and systems.
