Photovoltaic Manufacturing. Группа авторов

description of the analysis of trace metals is given. Current developments in analytical techniques for organic contamination are reviewed, and an overview on recent analytical techniques with application examples is provided.

      This book is a comprehensive review on the most important steps in processing a high-quality solar wafer while keeping track of economic key values. The essential knowledge is explained by recognized experts in their field of endeavor. Outlooks on future topics are given, and recent challenges and innovations are presented. This book provides you with an efficient and solid start to this important field of photovoltaics. The technological limits of photovoltaic are still to be reached—may this compilation help you in exploring them.

      The editor would like to thank Karen Reinhardt for the initial idea and the beginning of this project. I also thank sincerely all the authors for their willingness to share their expertise, their efforts to make their knowledge understandable for a larger audience, and for staying patient and focused during the publishing process of a book in the midst of a pandemic.
