Behandelt werden zahlreiche Aspekte der Physik von Dünnschicht-Photovoltaik, insbesondere die Funktionsweise der Bauelemente, Materialstruktur und -parameter, Bildung von Dünnschichtkontakten, analytische und numerische Modellierung, Ansätze für großflächige Effekte und laterale Inhomogenität, die Physik von Shunts (Zunahme und Auswirkungen) sowie die Alterung der Bauelemente. Außerdem werden verschiedene physikalische Diagnoseverfahren vorgestellt, die sich bei Dünnschicht-Photovoltaik bewährt haben. Sowohl für erfahrene Ingenieure als auch für Studenten ist dieses Werk in jeder Bibliothek unverzichtbar.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I General and Thin Film PV\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eI.
