High-efficiency solar cells : physics, materials, and devices / Xiaodong Wang, Zhiming M. Wang, editors.

As part of the effort to increase the contribution of solar cells (photovoltaics) to our energy mix, this book addresses three main areas: making existing technology cheaper, promoting advanced technologies based on new architectural designs, and developing new materials to serve as light absorbers....
