Principle of photovoltaic (PV) cells and the different PV cell technologies

Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy will become in a mid-term scale one of the World main energy sources while industrial production shall come back to Europe in a short-term scale. In this context and in order to integrate this sector at the cutting edge of technology, it is important to have an expert knowledge on Energy, electricity and photovoltaic markets, while understanding the basics of PV cell and module science, technologies and fabrication process.
