Williams, A F

This state-of-the-art handbook provides information needed to design, construct and operate photovoltaic systems. It provides coverage of current applications, ranging from large scale commercial and utility installations to smaller scale residential installations. Recent advances have made photovoltaic technology more practical as well as lower in cost, and have spurred an increase in its application. The economics of both conventional and advanced concentrator and system designs are detailed. Cogeneration applications utilizing photovoltaic technology are also examined. Other special features include graphical methods which can be used to size systems, case studies, and useful economic evaluation techniques.
