This book reviews the current status of semiconductor materials for
conversion of sunlight to electricity, and highlights advances in
both basic science and manufacturing. Photovoltaic (PV) solar
electric technology will be a significant contributor to world
energy supplies when reliable, efficient PV power products are
manufactured in large volumes at low cost. Expert chapters cover
the full range of semiconductor materials for solar-to-electricity
conversion, from crystalline silicon and amorphous silicon to
cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium sulfide selenides, dye
sensitized solar cells, organic solar cells, and environmentally
friendly copper zinc tin sulfide selenides. The latest methods for
synthesis and characterization of solar cell materials are
described, together with techniques for measuring solar cell
efficiency. Semiconductor Materials for Solar Photovoltaic Cells
presents the current state of the art as well as key details about
future strategies to increase the efficiency and reduce costs, with
particular focus on how to reduce the gap between laboratory scale
efficiency and commercial module efficiency. This book will aid
materials scientists and engineers in identifying research
priorities to fulfill energy needs, and will also enable
researchers to understand novel semiconductor materials that are
emerging in the solar market. This integrated approach also gives
science and engineering students a sense of the excitement and
relevance of materials science in the development of novel
semiconductor materials. * Provides a comprehensive introduction to
solar PV cell materials * Reviews current and future status of
solar cells with respect to cost and efficiency * Covers the full
range of solar cell materials, from silicon and thin films to dye
sensitized and organic solar cells * Offers an in-depth account of
the semiconductor material strategies and directions for further
research * Features detailed tables on the world leaders in
efficiency demonstrations * Edited by scientists with experience in
both research and industry
