Preface

In the current scenario, sustainable power generation is of crucial demand to meet our energy needs of day-to-day life. In order to overcome the energy demand, power generation through solar energy is booming. Many research works have been attempted to enhance the efficiency of collection and storage of solar energy and, as a result, numerous new materials have been developed for enhancing the performance of solar cells.

This book has compiled and broadly explored the latest developments of materials, methods and the applications of solar energy. The book is divided into 2 parts, in which first part deals with solar cell fundamentals and emerging categories and latter deals with materials, methods and application in order to fill the gap between existing technologies and practical requirements for industrial and academic researchers. The book presents detailed chapters including organic, inorganic, coating materials and collectors. It provides professionals and students with an invaluable resource on the basic principles and applications of solar energy materials and their processes.

We thank all the authors for their valuable research input and contribution. We render our sincere thanks to Scrivener–Wiley publishing team for their help with this book. We would like to thank Dr. P. Sathish Kumar for his help in proofreading the initial drafts of the chapters of the book.
