Energy experts predict that wholesale electricity prices could easily rise 35
to 65 percent by 2015. Add to this the growing need for energy independence and
the need to reduce carbon emissions and it is very clear that the development
of low-cost renewable energy, such as solar energy, is essential for our economy
and our national security. With the potential for low-cost, renewable energy
that can create jobs while reducing our dependency on foreign oil, solar cell
technology provides a very attractive and plausible option.


Presenting a well-balanced mix of theory and applications, Solar Cell Technology
and Applications addresses critical design aspects representing cutting-edge solar
cell technology. It offers those engaged in the design and development of low-cost,
high-efficiency solar cells complete coverage of the latest advances in the field.
including low-cost, high-efficiency elements and the latest approaches in solar
cell designs. Coverage includes:
