Description
This paper first discusses some of the basic concepts underlying photovoltaic system operation including the photovoltaic effect, response to solar radiation, cell materials, efficiency, operating characteristics and manufacturing processes. System components are considered next, including stationary and tracking flat-plate arrays, concentrating arrays, storage and power conditioning equipment. Both stand-alone and grid-connected applications are discussed and the paper concludes with a brief look at industry trends and prospects.
