MTSC 6220G - Advanced Photovoltaics and Solar Energy Physics


This one semester course will cover the following areas: i) fundamentals of PV devices and systems; ii) new materials and technologies for solar cell; and iii) the economy of photovoltaics. Part i) will look at the basic physics behind a solar cell operation from an opto-electronic and a thermodynamic point of view. In part ii), the course will cover the evolution from first generation to third generation photovoltaics (and beyond) and will examine alternative solutions being studied to improve cost and efficiency of solar cells. Finally, part iii) of the course will consider the economic implication of the different choices of materials and technologies.
Credit hours: 3
Prerequisite(s): MTSC 6010G .
