CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
58848	Lecture-Discussion	EEG	11:00AM -11:50AM	MWF	Mechanical Engineering Bldg	Ertekin, E	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/22/11-12/07/11 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Fund of Modern Photovoltaics Section Info: In this course, students will develop a fundamental understanding of how solar cells convert light to electricity, how solar cells are made, how solar cell performance is evaluated, and the photovoltaic technologies that are currently on the market and/or under development. Using thermodynamics, materials physics, and engineering analysis we will learn how to assess and critique the potentials and drawbacks of modern photovoltaic technologies, including single- and multi- crystalline silicon, tandem cells, CdTe, CIGS, PVT, bulk hetero junctions (organic), Graetzel cells, nanostructure–based, and third generation PV. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
