I feel this is a very good book for advanced undergraduates
and graduate students interested in the physics of solar cells. It
is not a beginner book, as some background is expected.

Solid state physics is difficult and complicated. There are a lot
of different things going on at the same time, and I feel it's good to
get explanations from several different authors viewpoints. I have
several books now on the subject, but I find myself looking at
this one more than the others. I think the author fills in a lot of
details missing in other texts.

This book provides a well thought out introduction to the physics of photovoltaic cells and systems. The treatment provides mathematical details at a level that will be accessible to science and engineering graduates and upper class undergraduates. Some derivations are not as well explained as others. However, the working relationships are worth knowing and can serve as a lead into other references. The book is well worth its relatively modest cost.

Though it is of softcover instead of hardcover edition, but totally new and mailed quite quickly.
