Despite a current abundance of readily available fossil fuel, the need to find more environmentally and sustainable sources for generating power and energy will only increase as those fossil fuels eventually diminish and concerns about greenhouse gas emissions grow. This new updated and expanded two-volume edition of a popular book on wind power, delves more deeply into the most current technologies for generating power in a sustainable manner. The first volume focuses on the conversion of sunlight directly to electricity. New improvements in photovoltaic solar cells, including new materials and new energy storage technologies are clearly presented for the reader, with valuable guidance on solar photovoltaic economics and payback calculations. The book provides resources for additional reading and new directions in solar research. | Renewable Power And Energy Volume I by Gary D. Price, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
