Basics of Photovoltaic Devices

Learn basic physics, operational and design principles of the photovoltaic (PV) devices such as solar cells (SCs) and solar modules (SMs). Learn how the core physical phenomena in various solid-state materials can be used to design and build PV cells and panels. You study essentials of both bulk and thin film PV devices including Si-based mono-crystalline, poly-crystalline and micro-crystalline modifications, thin Si and a-SiH amorphous cells, CdTe and Copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS) options, and III-V multi-junction SCs.
