Solar Energy presents an introduction to all aspects of solar energy, from photovoltaic devices to active and
passive solar thermal energy conversion, giving both a detailed and broad perspective of the field. It is aimed at
the beginner involved in solar energy or a related field, or for someone wanting to gain a broader perspective of
solar energy technologies.
A chapter considering solar radiation, basic principles applied to solar energy, semiconductor physics and light
absorption brings the reader on equal footing with the technology of either solar generated electrical current
or useful heat. Details of how a solar cell works and then production of current from a photovoltaic device are
discussed. Characterization of a solar cell is examined, allowingone the ability to interpret the current-voltage
relation, followed by discussion of parameter extraction from this relation. This information can be used to
understand what limits the performance of a given solar cell with the potential to optimize its performance.
Applications of solar thermal energy are reviewed in detail from passive applications, for example the
solar chimney, to active, such as the solar (power) tower, flat plate water heater and solar thermal electricity
generation. Consistency of analysis between the solar thermal applications is used enabling the reader to fully
appreciate similarities and dissimilarities between these technologies. Ultimately, the scientist or engineer can
understand existing systems, either photovoltaic or solar thermal devices, and design their own technology
given the information in this book.
Michael E. Mackay is Distinguished Professor of Materials Science Sc Engineering and Chemical Sc
Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Delaware, USA.
‘Solar radiation is likely to be a key part of our energy future. This textbook presents, with admirable
clarity and accessibility, the relevant physics, the technical approach and challenges, and the geopolitical
arguments, behind the utilisation of solar power on a global scale.’ Fred Taylor, University of Oxford, UK
‘Michael Mackay s Solar Energy is a useful contribution to the field by combining photovoltaics and
solar thermal energy—two subjects not often seen together in one textbook. The topics are explained at
an approachable level, making the book a good entry text for a student or a teacher who may wish to
understand solar energy conversion from this broader point of view.’
Tom Markvart, University of Southampton, UK
