PVEducation is a collection of resources for the photovoltaic educator.
In a CDROM available online it presents practical and theoretical aspects of photovoltaics such as:
- Properties of Sunlight
- Semiconductors & Junctions
- Solar Cell Operation
- Design of Silicon Cells
- Manufacturing Si Cells
- Modules and Arrays
- Characterization
- Material Properties
- Batteries
As solar cell manufacturing continues to grow at a record-setting pace, increasing demands are placed on universities to educate students on both the practical and theoretical aspects of photovoltaics. As a truly interdisciplinary field, young professionals must be fluent with the science, engineering, policy, and market dimensions of this technology, in the context of a growing renewable energy economy.
This material is based in part upon work supported by the National Science Foundation.
