This book explores the scientific basis of the photovoltaic effect, solar cell operation, various types of solar cells, and the main process used in their manufacture. It addresses a range of topics, including the production of solar silicon, silicon-based solar cells and modules, the choice of semiconductor materials and their production-relevant costs and performance, device structures, processing, and manufacturing options for the three major thin-film PV technologies, high-performance approaches for multi-junction, concentrator, and space applications, and new types of organic polymer and dye-sensitized solar cells. The book also presents a concept for overcoming the efficiency limit of today's solar cells. Accessible for beginners, while also providing detailed information on the physics and technology for experts, the book is a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and graduate students in fields such as physics, materials, energy, electrical and electronic engineering and microelectronics.
