Spectral Characteristics of Solar Radiation: Applications in Photovoltaic Conversion brings together the multiple facets of the solar radiation spectrum, its interaction with solar cells and its impact on photovoltaic applications.

The first part of the book introduces spectral characteristics of solar radiation, covering measurements, estimation, and modelling techniques. The second section focuses on the application of this knowledge to the design and operation of photovoltaic devices.

This is a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, and graduate students with an interest in solar radiation, measurement, and modelling, solar energy conversion, and photovoltaics, as well as engineers, developers, and technicians involved in the development and operation of photovoltaics and solar power plants.

Marius Paulescu is Professor at the Faculty of Physics, West University of Timisoara, in Romania. He completed his habilitation in 2016 with a thesis on the estimation and forecasting of output power of PV systems. His research interests include physics of radiative transfer in the atmosphere, solar radiation modeling and forecasting and photovoltaic conversion of solar energy. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers, 1 book, and 7 book chapters, all in the fields of solar radiation and photovoltaics. Prof. Paulescu has recently directed three research projects dealing with solar energy modeling and forecasting, and was part of the Management Committee of the large-scale COST Action Performance and Reliability of Photovoltaic Systems. In 2015, he received the Romanian Academy “Anghel Saligny” Prize for the book ‘Weather Modeling and Forecasting of PV System Operation’. He is a member of the Renewable Energy Committee of the Romanian Academy and the International Solar Energy Society.
