This book covers the fundamentals of solar energy, photovoltaic (PV), or
photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) technologies, energy security, climate change
and carbon trading. The book starts with an introduction to solar radiation,
its propagation through the atmosphere and concepts of greenhouse gases.
It then moves on to cover the history of solar cells and PV modules before
focusing on the design and application of photovoltaic modules for
electricity and heat production. The economics, cost effectiveness and
sustainability of photovoltaic technologies are also discussed.
