"Solar Cells: Research and Application Perspectives" ed. by Arturo Morales-Acevedo

This book intends to contribute to such a purpose by covering a wide range of modern research topics in the solar cell physics and technology fields.

The already established -1st generation- silicon solar cell technology, the 2nd generation thin film and the 3rd generation dye sensitized solar cells, including new technologies with very high perspectives for reducing the cost of solar electricity such as CZTS, organic polymer and tandem solar cells based on III-V compounds -under concentrated sunlight- are studied in this book by experts in the field from around the world.
