Description:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Suncell is the first in-depth discussion of the technology and tremendous social, political and economic implications of photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight directly into electricity without fuel, noise, moving parts, or pollution. Potentially the most revolutionary inventions since the telephone and light bulb, photovoltaics (PVs) open the door to decentralized, accessible, environmentally clean, inexhaustible, simple and cheap electricity.
Swan, himself an innovator in the field of renewable energy, discusses how PVs are manufactured and how they work; how they redefine concepts of energy efficiency; how they interface with other renewable energy sources; how PVs already function in major corporations and private homes; why government policy regarding research and development has been indecisive; and what their effect will be on global economics, environmental health, and the world’s energy future..
