Photovoltaics from Milliwatts to Gigawatts: Understanding Market
and Technology Drivers toward Terawatts Timothy Bruton, TMB
Consulting, UK An essential guide through the rapid evolution of PV
technology Photovoltaics from Milliwatts to Gigawatts:
Understanding Market and Technology Drivers toward Terawatts covers
the history of silicon based PV, from the earliest discoveries to
present and future practice. Divided into 9 chapters, the book
includes the following topics: Early History; The 1973 Oil crisis
and the drive for alternative energies; The emergence in the 1980 s
of the off grid PV market, the significant small scale PV consumer
market and the establishment of a manufacturing industry;
Advantages of silicon for solar cells; The evolution of PV
installations; The history of the incentive programme for PV;
Difficulties of alternative technologies in challenging silicon
dominance; Current status of the silicon manufacturing technology
and The future. Key features: * An authoritative first-hand account
of an emerging technology from laboratory to global significance
for electricity generation by an industry expert. * Provides a
framework for policy makers on future trends in the PV industry. *
Examines the lessons learnt from the interaction of research
laboratories, major industry and government. * Signposts the route
to future high efficiency silicon solar cells giving new
researchers a background for further development. * Highlights the
critical success factors for the emerging alternative manufacturing
technologies. An essential PV guide aimed at researchers and
students in electrical engineering and physical sciences through
the rapid evolution of PV technology to commercial viability and
the challenges ahead for increased performance, efficiency and
global deployment.
