The book analyses all important aspects that have to be considered when evaluating photovoltaics as a potential option in the power-supply industry and industrial development. Since such an analysis is quite complex and requires know-how from several scientific disciplines, the book draws upon the expertise of about 40 invited experts. Consensus statements on some of the controversial items such as cost development or energy pay-back time are given. In addition, the book is completed by an evaluation of the technological status of photovoltaics. It enables the reader to form his or her own opinion, particularly on the genuine potential of photovoltaics in energy policy, the power-supply industry and industrial development.
