Physics of solar cells: from basic principles to advanced concepts

- Solar cells are increasingly important for the production of energy. - The major issue in the economics of solar cells is efficiency of energy conversion. - The first edition of Wuerfel's book is highly regarded and well established. Würfel's book describes in detail all aspects of solar cell function, the physics behind every single step, as well as all the issues to be considered when improving solar cells and their efficiency. Based on the highly successful first edition, but thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded with exercises, this edition contains the latest knowledge on the mechanisms of solar energy conversion. It requires no more than standard physics knowledge and it enables students and researchers to understand the factors driving conversion efficiency and to apply this knowledge to their own solar cell development.
