Most photovoltaic (PV) installations utilise heavy conventional
glass or polycarbonate panels, and even newly developed thin
plastic or metal films for PV cell use may fracture during both
construction and application. Textile fabrics, the most widespread
flexible materials in everyday use, offer a solution to the need
for lightweight, flexible solar PV generators. Solar Textiles: The
Flexible Solution for Solar Power is about the incorporation and
operation of solar cells on textile fabrics. The combination of
textile manufacturing and solar PV cell technology opens up further
avenues for both the textile and semiconductor industries. Thus,
this book reflects the progressively increasing commercial interest
in PV cell technology and the versatility that their integration in
textiles provides. Discusses textiles as electrical substrates
Explains the photovoltaic effect and associated parameters Offers
special consideration of solar cells on textiles Compares fibres
and fabrics and how to implement PV activity on a textile Describes
manufacturing methods outside of semiconductor technology Includes
applications open only to textiles This work is aimed at textile
technologists, electronic engineers, solar technologists, civil
engineers and designers in building fabrics and architecture.
