{"product_id":"third-generation-photovoltaics-vasilis-fthenakis-9789535103042","title":"Third Generation Photovoltaics","description":"Photovoltaics have started replacing fossil fuels as major energy generation roadmaps, targeting higher efficiencies and\/or lower costs are aggressively pursued to bring PV to cost parity with grid electricity. Third generation PV technologies may overcome the fundamental limitations of photon to electron conversion in single-junction devices and, thus, improve both their efficiency and cost. This book presents notable advances in these technologies, namely organic cells and nanostructures, dye-sensitized cells and multijunction III\/V cells. The following topics are addressed: Solar spectrum conversion for photovoltaics using nanoparticles; multiscale modeling of heterojunctions in organic PV; technologies and manufacturing of OPV; life cycle assessment of OPV; new materials and architectures for dye-sensitized solar cells; advances of concentrating PV; modeling doped III\/V alloys; polymeric films for lowering the cost of PV, and field performance factors. A panel of acclaimed PV professionals contributed these topics, compiling the state of knowledge for advancing this new generation of PV.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vasilis Fthenakis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9535103040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789535103042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Intechopen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.63d","brand":"Vasilis Fthenakis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089173033215,"sku":"9789535103042","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f68cff4e-fe45-473f-ab1b-c0d3773a1e24.jpg?v=1769108607","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/third-generation-photovoltaics-vasilis-fthenakis-9789535103042","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
