N-Type Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaics: Technology, Applications and Economics - Hardcover

$195.30

by Delfina Muñoz (Editor), Radovan Kopecek (Editor)Most solar cells currently in commercial use are p-type solar cells, due to their historically lower cost and ease of manufacture compared to n-type solar cells. However, due to improved manufacturing technology and falling cost in general, the cost difference between the two types has shrunk, making n-type solar cells an attractive option for future commercial high-efficiency solar cells. n-type solar cells are less prone to light-induced de...

Seasonal Energy Storage with Power-to-Methane Technology - Hardcover

$69.43

by Attila R. Imre (Editor)For a sustainable future, the need to use renewable sources to produce electricity is inevitable. Some of these sources-particularly the widely available solar power-are weather-dependent; therefore, utility-scale energy storage will be more and more important. These solar and wind power fluctuations range from minutes (passing cloud) to whole seasons (winter/summer differences). Short-term storage can be solved (at least theoretically) with batteries; however, seaso...
