Low-Cost Solar Electric Power
This book describes in a clear and highly accessible manner, recent breakthroughs that promise major cost reductions in solar energy production. The author addresses three key areas for typical criticism of solar cost, availability, and solar in the evening. Coverage includes recently developed, 40% efficient solar cells, which double the efficiency of currently available, commercial cells. The discussion also includes opportunities for integration of solar energy storage and natural gas combined heat and power systems. Solar energy production in the evening hours is also discussed, via the convergence of low cost access to space and the growing number of large terrestrial solar electric power fields around the world.
