Greg Smestad has written a book entitled
Optoelectronics of Solar Cells. Learn more
about the book.
In addition to his duties at Sol Ideas Technology Development,
Sol Ideas founder Greg Smestad also serves as Associate Editor
for the Elsevier Science Journal, Solar
Energy Materials and Solar Cells, which is intended as
a vehicle for the dissemination of research results on materials
science and technology related to photovoltaic, photothermal
and photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion. Materials
science is taken in the broadest possible sense and encompasses
physics, chemistry, optics, materials fabrication and analysis
for all types of materials. One can access the web site to
