This is the second volume of a 3-volume history of solar power
generating systems covering the approximately 50 years of research
and development surrounding the energy crisis of 1973. Volume 1
covered solar-thermal systems. The present volume covers
photovoltaic systems in the 20th century. Volume 3 will cover
photovoltaic developments from the start of the 21st century. The
history is based upon keynote lectures given by international
specialists at the Sede Boqer Symposia on Solar Electric Power
Production, a series that commenced in 1986. The lectures document
many technical details that have become hard to find, including
some pertaining to technologies that were successfully demonstrated
but subsequently discontinued owing to their not having been deemed
to be cost-effective at the time. However, in the event that
different economic considerations may ensue, these volumes can
provide a valuable starting point, including references, for the
re-investigation of some of those once abandoned ideas.
