  • A
  • major
  • update
  • of
  • solar
  • cell
  • technology
  • and
  • the
  • solar
  • marketplaceSince
  • the
  • first
  • publication
  • of
  • this
  • important
  • volume
  • over
  • a
  • decade
  • ago,
  • dramatic
  • changes
  • have
  • taken
  • place
  • with
  • the
  • solar
  • market
  • growing
  • almost
  • 100-fold
  • and
  • the
  • U.S.
  • moving
  • from
  • first
  • to
  • fourth
  • place
  • in
  • the
  • world
  • market
  • as
  • analyzed
  • in
  • this
  • Second
  • Edition.
  • Three
  • bold
  • new
  • opportunities
  • are
  • identified
  • for
  • any
  • countries
  • wanting
  • to
  • improve
  • market
  • position.
  • The
  • first
  • is
  • combining
  • pin
  • solar
  • cells
  • with
  • 3X
  • concentration
  • to
  • achieve
  • economic
  • competitiveness
  • near
  • term.
  • The
  • second
  • is
  • charging
  • battery-powered
  • cars
  • with
  • solar
  • cell
  • generated
  • electricity
  • from
  • arrays
  • in
  • surrounding
  • areas-including
  • the
  • car
  • owners'
  • homes-while
  • simultaneously
  • reducing
  • their
  • home
  • electricity
  • bills
  • by
  • over
  • ninety
  • percent.
  • The
  • third
  • is
  • formation
  • of
  • economic
  • "unions"
  • of
  • sufficient
  • combined
  • economic
  • size
  • to
  • be
  • major
  • competitors.In
  • this
  • updated
  • edition,
  • feed-in
  • tariffs
  • are
  • identified
  • as
  • the
  • most
  • effective
  • approach
  • for
  • public
  • policy.
  • Reasons
  • are
  • provided
  • to
  • explain
  • why
  • pin
  • solar
  • cells
  • outperform
  • more
  • traditional
  • pn
  • solar
  • cells.
  • Field
  • test
  • data
  • are
  • reported
  • for
  • nineteen
  • percent
  • pin
  • solar
  • cells
  • and
  • for
  • ~500X
  • concentrating
  • systems
  • with
  • bare
  • cell
  • efficiencies
  • approaching
  • forty
  • percent.
  • Paths
  • to
  • bare
  • cell
  • efficiencies
  • over
  • fifty
  • percent
  • are
  • described,
  • and
  • key
  • missing
  • program
  • elements
  • are
  • identified.
  • Since
  • government
  • support
  • is
  • needed
  • for
  • new
  • technology
  • prototype
  • integration
  • and
  • qualification
  • testing
  • before
  • manufacturing
  • scale
  • up,
  • the
  • key
  • economic
  • measure
  • is
  • identified
  • in
  • this
  • volume
  • as
  • the
  • electricity
  • cost
  • in
  • cents
  • per
  • kilowatt-hour
  • at
  • the
  • complete
  • installed
  • system
  • level,
  • rather
  • than
  • just
  • the
  • up-front
  • solar
  • cell
  • modules'
  • costs
  • in
  • dollars
  • per
  • watt.This
  • Second
  • Edition
  • will
  • benefit
  • technologists
  • in
  • the
  • fields
  • of
  • solar
  • cells
  • and
  • systems;
  • solar
  • cell
  • researchers;
  • power
  • systems
  • designers;
  • academics
  • studying
  • microelectronics,
  • semiconductors,
  • and
  • solar
  • cells;
  • business
  • students
  • and
  • investors
  • with
  • a
  • technical
  • focus;
  • and
  • government
  • and
  • political
  • officials
  • developing
  • public policy.
