"Solar Cells: Operating Principles, Technology and System Applications"
by Martin Green
" An excellent text...newcomers to the field will find that this book will allow
them to understand the more specialists books and many of the published papers
whilst those already in the field will find useful information ..." - Professor
R. Hill, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
Explains the operating principles and design of solar cells, the technology used
to produce them, improved future technology, and provides a good introduction to
the design of systems based on these cells. |

"Speed of Light: The 1996 World Solar Challenge"
by Roche, Schinckel, Storey, Humphris and Guelden
"... excellent in every way. It represents a perfect example of presenting
technical information in a clear manner that, while exploring the wide variety
of approaches by previous designers, helps the reader comprehend the underlying
physical principles--and does all this over the many disciplines involved in
solar cars. Its mixture of text, pictures, and diagrams makes it accessible. It
will help advance both education and technology ... I hope is is a wild best
seller, because its value is far beyond just solar car races."
Paul B. MacCready, Chairman of the Board, AeroVironment Inc, and the American
Academy of Achievements Engineer of the
Century.
"Provides a broad background of engineering and scientific information directly
applicable to solar car design, construction and racing". Howard G. Wilson,
former vice-President of Hughes Aircraft, and Director of General Motors'
Sunraycer and EV1 projects.
In addition to being a definitive technical report on the 1996 World Solar
Challenge, Speed of Light contains a detailed description of the race itself
together with numerous colour and B&W photographs, diagrams, graphs etc. There
are also chapters on the 1996 World Solar Cycle Challenge and the developments
arising from solar car racing. |

"Solar Cells: Resources for the Secondary Science Teacher"
by S Wenham & R Largent
A valuable resource for secondary teachers who wish to introduce a unit on
photovoltaic technology into their curriculum. It provides information about
solar cell technology, their benefit as a teaching tool to demonstrate broader
scientific concepts, as well as a list of potential experiments for students to
complete. |

"Speed of Light 2 - The 1999 World Solar Challenge" CD-ROM
by Jeff Cotter David Roche John Storey Antony Schinckel and Clive Humphris
"This beautiful and easy-to-navigate CDROM is packed to the rim with race
coverage and analysis, digital images, weather data and
technical vehicle data from the 1999 World Solar Challenge race from Darwin to
Adelaide, Australia. It captures the spirit of adventure and euphoria of making
it 3000 km across one of the world's harshest continents, powered only by
sunlight, ingenuity and sheer perseverance. The new CDROM also carries on the
tradition of the Speed of Light series as the definitive technical introduction
for teams considering building a solar powered racing car - clearly and
comprehensively describing the many technical components and the important
trade-offs in designing, building and racing a solar-powered car."- Stuart
Bowden and Christiana Honsberg, authors of Photovoltaics: Devices, System and
Applications CDROM
Adapted from the well-known Speed of Light - The 1996 World Solar Challenge,
this CDRom describes the 1999 World Solar Challenge Race across the continent of
Australia in October of 1999. It contains an account of the race, an analysis of
vehicle performance, several chapters on solar racing car technology, a
compendium of vehicle technical data, weather data and race-related web sites,
as well as a library of digitised photographs taken during the race—in total,
650 MB of information integrated into an easily navigable browser-compatible
format. |

"Photovoltaics: Devices, Systems and Applications" CD-ROM
by C Honsberg and S Bowden
A key barrier to the introduction of photovoltaics is the lack of general
technical information. The Photovoltaics: Devices, Systems and Applications
CDROM (PVCDROM) is a new publication that provides information on a wide range
of photovoltaic issues from device physics to practical implementations of
photovoltaic systems. The topics covered include; properties of sunlight,
sSemiconductors and pn junctions, solar cell operation, cell properties and
design, manufacturing silicon solar cells, and cell interconnection & module
fabrication. |
