Photovoltaic Systems Engineering

The primary purpose of PV Systems Engineering is to provide a comprehensive set of PV knowledge and understanding tools for the design, installation, commissioning, inspection, and operation of PV systems. During recent years in the United States, more PV capacity was installed than any other electrical generation source. In addition to practical system information, this new edition includes explanation of the basic physical principles upon which the technology is based and a consideration of the environmental and economic impact of the technology. The material covers all phases of PV systems from basic sunlight parameters to system commissioning and simulation, as well as economic and environmental impact of PV. With homework problems included in each chapter and numerous design examples of real systems, the book provides the reader with consistent opportunities to apply the information to real-world scenarios.

Scopul principal al ingineriei sistemelor fotovoltaice este de a furniza un set cuprinzator de cunostinte fotovoltaice si instrumente de intelegere pentru proiectarea, instalarea, punerea in functiune, inspectia si functionarea sistemelor fotovoltaice. In ultimii ani in Statele Unite, a fost instalata o capacitate PV mai mare decat orice alta sursa de generare electrica.
