Photovoltaics, the direct conversion of sunlight to electricity,
is now the fastest growing technology for electricity generation.
Present "first generation" products use the same silicon wafers as
in microelectronics. "Second generation" thin-films, now entering
the market, have the potential to greatly improve the economics by
eliminating material costs. Martin Green, one of the world's
foremost photovoltaic researchers, argues in this book that "second
generation" photovoltaics will eventually reach its own material
cost constraints, engendering a "third generation" of high
performance thin-films. The book explores, self-consistently, the
energy conversion potential of advanced approaches for improving
photovoltaic performance and outlines possible implementation
paths.
