This review is from: Harnessing Solar Power: The Photovoltaics Challenge (Hardcover)

If you can grab a copy of this book, it is well worth it. A good mix of science, economics, and policy. Very qualitative information on how solar cells work and their potential, won't bore you with tons of equations. For the scientist and nonscientist, although a little background will make it more interesting. Not too outdated, would be nice to see an updated edition to include progress in the 90's.
