SOLAR ELECTRICITY GENERATION has been written in a concise and coherent way to elucidate the essentials of solar electricity generation technology. The content is not limited to the principles of solar electricity generation but addresses the designing, performance assessment and analysis issues as well. Designing the photovoltaic (PV) power plant has been exemplified in a simple manner. Performance assessment of PV power plant has been illustrated along with the various useful simulation tools for design and analysis of solar energy system. It will serve as primer for students, technocrats, researchers and stakeholders who will find the book very useful and handy.
