商品簡介
The 20 papers in this volume present recent research on converting sunlight into electricity and survey the state of the art in thin film silicon solar cells. The contributors review material characterization techniques for solar cell devices, mechatronics technology for tracking solar panels, computer simulations of solar energy systems, image processing for solar cell analysis, and artificial intelligence techniques for solar energy and photovoltaic applications. Methods of forecasting solar radiation are compared and a solar-powered electrical generation plant is proposed for the hot Saudi Arabian desert. B&w images are provided.
