Dr Pagliaro offers also a strategic Workshop on the book's topics aimed to industry's top, marketing and R&D managers.

This book deals with one of the hottest fields of contemporary chemical and nanotechnology research: Flexible solar cells based on inorganic and organic photovoltaics.

Audience

Well beyond researchers and students, readers of this nicely illustrated book include industry's top managers, management consultants,as well as science and energy journalists.

Indeed, this is a strategic book, because the socioeconomic impact of cheap, ubiquituous electricity generation from sun radiation cannot be overestimated.

Why this book

Written in a clear, concise style, it presents the scientific, technology and market aspects of thin film photovoltaics (TFPV), in the context of concomitant developments made in integrated PV-thermal technologies, and concentrated solar power generation.

As climate change meets peak oil producing enormous changes, solar electricity holds the key to solve the energy and environmental global crisis.

Readers of the book will find in a single, updated volume plenty of relevant information of scientific and practical usefulness.

As the book has been written “looking after commas”, its good language will enable them to think -- and thus to act -- carefully about an important topic.
