    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    This book, written in collaboration with experts at the Instituto de Energia Solar, presents methods and devices for concentrating solar light energy for the generation of electricity. Solar Cells and Optics for Photovoltaic Concentration is based on the work carried out at the Instituto de Energia Solar, where research has produced important advances in the design and construction of more efficient solar cells.

    Long description:

    Light concentration in conjunction with solar cells offers the possibility of cost-competitive electricity production. Solar Cells and Optics for Photovoltaic Concentration is a comprehensive text, covering the whole of this field. It embraces both optical and device aspects of photovoltaic concentration, giving an in-depth coverage of the subject not to be found in other books. The authors discuss the theory of solar cells, dealing in detail with concentrating cells, and there is a strong slant towards practical applications. A number of topics, such as high injection and point contact cells, are presented for the first time in this book. An extensive treatment of non-ionising optics provides a background not frequently found among photovoltaic specialists, which may lead to crucial advances in concentrating photovoltaics. Professor Luque, who has recently been awarded the Torres Queuedo Prize (the most important in Spain for technological research) and his colleagues at the Instituto de Energia Solar in Madrid have been at the forefront of solar cell research for many years. Among other achievements they have developed the bifacial cells, a key for static concentration, now currently manufactured by a company created for the purpose. Their achievements in high-efficiency cells and in concentrators of novel structure are also worthy of notice. Solar Cells and Optics for Photovoltaic Concentration will be indispensible to any scientist or engineer working in the field.
