Description

2025 Textbook and Academic Authors Association (TAA) Most Promising New Textbook Award WinnerFundamentals of Solar Cells and Photovoltaic Systems Engineering presents all the major topics relevant to understanding photovoltaic technology, including the working principles of solar cells, modeling and measuring solar radiation, manufacturing processes for solar cells and photovoltaic modules, the design and operation of rooftop installations and large-scale power plants, the economics of such systems, and the role of photovoltaic solar energy in the ongoing energy transition. This book is intended for use as a textbook on photovoltaic solar energy for upper-level undergraduate/graduate engineering students.

About the Author

Dr. Marta Victoria has a BSc and MSc in Aerospace Engineering and a PhD in Photovoltaic Solar Energy from the Technical University of Madrid, Spain. She works as an Associate Professor at Aarhus University, Denmark, where she teaches courses in Photovoltaic Solar Energy and Macro-Energy System Modeling. Her current research interests include the modeling of large-scale energy systems with high renewable penetration and the analysis of how to integrate large amounts of solar PV electricity into the grid. She also investigates novel PV system designs including agrivolatics and energy communities based on shared rooftop PV installations.
