Photovoltaics -the transforming of sunlight into electricity-is at the forefront of our search for alternative energy sources. Already powering nearly every NASA satellite, it is a safe, environmentally benign process based on solar cells-or PV cells-which could become a major provider of electricity for the world in the 21st century.

Ken Zweibel

-a universally respected spokesman for solar energy, guides you with utmost clarity through the most promising technologies for a solar future. He draws on his unparalleled expertise to lucidly demonstrate PV's history of reliability, its proven track record, and its steady technological progress, which bodes brightly for the future.

Zweibel shows that it is imperative that America secure its position as a key participant in PV development for the 21st century. The future of our economy and the health of our planet may depend on our meeting the PV challenge.
