Produktbeschreibung

Spectral Characteristics of Solar Radiation: Applications in Photovoltaic Conversion brings together the multiple facets of the solar radiation spectrum, its interaction with solar cells and its impact on photovoltaic applications. The first part of the book introduces spectral characteristics of solar radiation, covering measurements, estimation, and modelling techniques. The second section focuses on the application of this knowledge to the design and operation of photovoltaic devices. This is a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, and graduate students with an interest in solar radiation, measurement, and modelling, solar energy conversion, and photovoltaics, as well as engineers, developers, and technicians involved in the development and operation of photovoltaics and solar power plants.
