Solar Energy

The physics and engineering of photovoltaic conversion, technologies and systems

By: Arno Smets,Klaus Jäger,Olindo Isabella,René van Swaaij,Miro Zeman

This book provides a broad overview on the different aspects of solar energy, with a focus on photovoltaics, which is the technology that allows light energy to be converted into electric energy. Renewable energy sources have become increasingly popular in recent years, and solar is one of the most adaptable and attractive types – from solar farms to support the National Grid to roof panels/tiles used for solar thermal heating systems, and small solar garden lights. Written by Delft University researchers, Solar Energy uniquely covers both the physics of photovoltaic (PV) cells and the design of PV systems for real-life applications, from a concise history of solar cells components and location issues of current systems. The book is designed to make this complicated subject accessible to all, and is packed with fascinating graphs and charts, as well as useful exercises to cement the topics covered in each chapter. Solar Energy outlines the fundamental principles of semiconductor solar cells, as well as PV technology: crystalline silicon solar cells, thin-film cells, PV modules, and third-generation concepts. There is also background on PV systems, from simple stand-alone to complex systems connected to the grid. This is an invaluable reference for physics students, researchers, industrial engineers and designers working in solar energy generation, as well those with a general interest in renewable energy.

Northwest Trees

Identifying and Understanding the Region's Native Trees

By: Stephen F. Arno

Perennial favorite in a new, convenient field-guide size Concise natural history facts about more than 60 native species No other guide duplicates Arno and Hammerly’s blend of expertise and visual artistry. Covering Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and north into Canada, they identify and illustrate more than 60 species of indigenous Northwestern trees by characteristic shape, size, needles or leaves, and cones or seeds. This essential guide: Provides an easy-to-use illustrated identification key based on the most reliable and non-technical features of each species Features the ecology and human history associated with all Northwest trees Includes 185 exceptionally accurate drawings as well as historical photos that bring these trees to life
