Physical Limitations to Photovoltaic Energy Conversion,

by A. Luque (Editor), G.L. Araujo

Photovoltaic energy is seen by many as one of the main sources of energy in the future. Leading authorities in the field examine the constraints upon the efficiency of solar energy collection from the actual shape of the collector right through to the composition and structure of the cell itself. It also points to the ways in which the efficiency of the cell system can be increased until it approaches the physical limitations.
