Customer Reviews
The vocabulary used is fairly simple and the book is reasonably understandable. Most equations are described into detail and are not too difficult to follow. Each chapter finishes with a detailled bibliography for those who want some more "in depth" reading.
The only point that, I think, could be improved, is the chapter on photolvoltaic cell. It is heavy to read (but the author gives a warning at the beguining) and not always well described.
The book contains all the topics needed (with basics chapter at the start) and a lot of references for further reading.
There are also chapters on the social and environmental impacts of renewable energy, as well as some economic considerations.
The only (little) drawback is that pictures are not so illustrative.
Absolutely recommended
