Practical Handbook of Photovoltaics, Third Edition, is a 'benchmark' publication for those involved in the design, manufacture and use of these devices. This fully revised handbook includes brand new sections on smart grids, net metering and the modeling of photovoltaic systems, as well as fully revised content on developments in photovoltaic applications, the economics of PV manufacturing and updated chapters on solar cell function, raw materials, photovoltaic standards, calibration and testing, all with new examples and case studies.

The editor has assembled internationally-respected contributors from industry and academia around the world to make this a truly global reference. It is essential reading for electrical engineers, designers of systems, installers, architects, policymakers and physicists working with photovoltaics.

Prof. Soteris Kalogirou is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering at the Cyprus University of Technology. In addition to his Ph.D., he holds a D.Sc. and is internationally recognized for his pioneering contributions to renewable energy. He is a Fellow of the European Academy of Sciences, a Founding Member of the Cyprus Academy of Sciences, Letters and Arts, a Member of Academia Europaea, and a Fellow of the International Artificial Intelligence Industry Alliance. For over 35 years, he has conducted research in solar energy, with expertise encompassing solar collectors, solar water heating, solar steam generation, desalination, photovoltaics, geothermal energy, and absorption cooling. He has published extensively, authoring numerous journal articles, book chapters, and conference papers. His books Solar Energy Engineering: Processes and Systems and Thermal Solar Desalination: Methods and Systems (Academic Press, Elsevier) are widely recognized references in the field. He currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews.
