CRYSTALLINE SEMICONDUCTOR SOLAR CELLSDescription of the crystalline silicon photovoltaic technology from bulk crystal growth. Extension to III-V compounds solar cells.
SILICON HETEROJUNCTIONSThe first MOOC “Photovoltaic solar energy” is a general presentation of the solar photovoltaics technologies in the global energetic context, without extensive details. In particular the description of the solar cell operation is restricted to the ideal case In contrast this second MOOC allows a deep understanding of the properties of solar cells based on crystalline semiconductors. It consists in a general presentation of the physics of the photovoltaics devices with a particular emphasize on
Subtitles weren't matching most of the time with the audio.Course was Excellent ,learnt a lot. For Further Doubts in the subject whom can we contact \with ? Please share the details .Thank you
Except for the accent of the prof, everything is okay.
It's a great course for those who technically want to start their career in the Solar energy engineering field.
Very interesting course to go through, examples were provided clearly and explained well.
Very useful course. Course materials are very interesting.
