How does a solar cell work? How efficient can it be? Why do
intricate patterns of metal lines decorate the surface of a solar
module? How are the modules arranged in a solar farm? How can
sunlight be stored during the day so that it can be used at night?
And, how can a lifetime of more than 25 years be ensured in solar
modules, despite the exposure to extreme patterns of weather? How
do emerging machine-learning techniques assess the health of a
solar farm? This practical book will answer all these questions and
much more.Written in a conversational style and with over
one-hundred homework problems, this book offers an end-to-end
perspective, connecting the multi-disciplinary and multi-scale
physical phenomena of electron-photon interaction at the molecular
level to the design of kilometers-long solar farms. A new
conceptual framework explains each concept in a simple,
crystal-clear form. The novel use of thermodynamics not only
determines the ultimate conversion efficiencies of the various
solar cells proposed over the years, but also identifies the
measurement artifacts and establishes practical limits by
correlating the degradation modes. Extensive coverage of conceptual
techniques already developed in other fields further inspire
innovative designs of solar farms.This book will not only help you
to make a solar cell, but it will help you make a solar cell
better, to trace and reclaim the photons that would have been lost
otherwise. Collaborations across multiple disciplines make
photovoltaics real and given the concern about reducing the overall
cost of solar energy, this interdisciplinary book is essential
reading for anyone interested in photovoltaic technology.
