Zusammenfassung: A major update of solar cell technology and the solar marketplace Since the first publication of this important volume over a decade ago, dramatic changes have taken place with the solar market growing almost 100-fold and the U.S. moving from first to fourth place in the world market as analyzed in this Second Edition. Three bold new opportunities are identified for any countries wanting to improve market position. The first is combining pin solar cells with 3X concentration to achieve economic competitiveness near term. The second is charging battery-powered cars with solar cell-generated electricity from arrays in surrounding areas-including the car owners' homes-while simultaneously reducing their home electricity bills by over ninety percent. The third is formation of economic "unions" of sufficient combined economic size to be major competitors. In this updated edition, feed-in tariffs are identified as the most effective approach for public policy. Reasons are provided to explain why pin solar cells outperform more traditional pn solar cells. Field test data are reported for nineteen percent pin solar cells and for ~500X concentrating systems with bare cell efficiencies approaching forty percent. Paths to bare cell efficiencies over fifty percent are described, and key missing program elements are identified. Since government support is needed for new technology prototype integration and qualification testing before manufacturing scale up, the key economic measure is identified in this volume as the electricity cost in cents per kilowatt-hour at the complete installed system level, rather than just the up-front solar cell modules' costs in dollars per watt. This Second Edition will benefit technologists in the fields of solar cells and systems; solar cell researchers; power systems designers; academics studying microelectronics,Zusammenfassung: SOLAR CELLS ANDTHEIR APPLICATIONS, Second Edition -- Contents -- Preface -- Contributors -- PART I: INTRODUCTION TO SOLAR CELLS -- 1: SOLAR CELLS: A BRIEF HISTORY AND INTRODUCTION -- 2: SOLAR CELL ELECTRICITY MARKET HISTORY, PUBLIC POLICY, PROJECTED FUTURE, AND ESTIMATED COSTS -- 3: SOLAR CELLS, SINGLE-CRYSTAL SEMICONDUCTORS, AND HIGH EFFICIENCY -- 4: SOLAR CELL DEVICE PHYSICS -- PART II: TERRESTRIAL SOLAR CELL ELECTRICITY -- 5: CRYSTALLINE SILICON SOLAR CELLS AND MODULES -- 6: THIN-FILM SOLAR CELLS AND MODULES -- 7: TERRESTRIAL MODULE FABRICATION AND ASSEMBLY TECHNOLOGIES -- 8: CHINESE SOLAR CELL STATUS -- 9: TRACKING THE SUN FOR MORE KILOWATT HOUR AND LOWER-COST SOLAR ELECTRICITY -- 10: SOLAR CELL SYSTEMS: DEFINITION, PERFORMANCE, AND RELIABILITY -- 11: LEVELIZED COST OF ENERGY FOR UTILITY-SCALE PHOTOVOLTAICS -- PART III: TERRESTRIAL CONCENTRATOR SOLAR CELL SYSTEMS -- 12: LOW-CONCENTRATION CRYSTALLINE SILICON SYSTEMS -- 13: HIGH-CONCENTRATION, III-V MULTIJUNCTION SOLAR CELLS -- 14: HIGH-CONCENTRATION FRESNEL LENS ASSEMBLIES AND SYSTEMS -- 15: HIGH-CONCENTRATION CASSEGRAINIAN SOLAR CELL MODULES AND ARRAYS -- 16: CONCENTRATOR SOLAR CELL INSTALLATIONS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS -- 17: CONCENTRATOR PHOTOVOLTAIC FIELD INSTALLATIONS -- PART IV: SOLAR CELLS IN SPACE -- 18: SPACE SOLAR CELLS AND APPLICATIONS -- PART V: OTHER ASPECTS AND CONSIDERATIONS -- 19: SOLAR RESOURCE FOR SPACE AND TERRESTRIAL APPLICATIONS -- 20: SOLAR ENERGY COSTS: THE SOLAR ADVISOR MODEL -- 21: CHALLENGES OF LARGE-SCALE SOLAR CELL ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION -- PART VI: THIN FILMS AND X-RAY IMAGER TECHNOLOGIES -- 22: MARKET OVERVIEW OF FLAT PANEL DETECTORS FOR X-RAY IMAGING -- 23: AMORPHOUS SILICON TRANSISTORS AND PHOTODIODES -- 24: AMORPHOUS SILICON DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING -- 25: PHOTOCONDUCTOR DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING -- PART VII: SUMMARY.PPN: PPN: 808959646Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
