Description

Solar Cell Book

The solar cell book is an information packet on the basics of solar energy. The topics that are covered in the solar cell book are vast but brief. There is just enough information to help you understand how solar cells and solar power work. In order to fully understand how everything works, you’d need a much bigger book. There is also information on interconnecting solar cells, along with various diagrams that help you understand the ins and outs of solar cells. There is also a class project section with various degrees of difficulty that range from elementary to intermediate levels.
