Photovoltaic solar power systems
Abstract
An introduction into photovoltaic device theory and design is given to provide a background for discussing applications for solar power system. The potential for using silicon solar cells to provide large amounts of electrical power is shown and a proposed plan for developing solar power systems for a wide range of applications is described. Solar power systems utilized in remote locations where conventional power lines are not available are described along with the satellite solar power station which is designed to generate 5,000 megawatts of power.
