Building a sustainable energy system is one of the great challenges of our time, which has prompted both academia and industry to seek alternative energy and renewable energy solutions. Recently, advanced materials and technologies for next-generation solar cells have been exploited to develop economically viable, high-performance solar cells. This book addresses the principles and materials for the development of next-generation solar cells for a sustainable global society. It targets advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students, researchers, and everyone with an interest in next-generation solar cells.

In this second edition, Chapter 13, Next-Generation Photovoltaics for Indoor Energy Harvesting, has been added, which thoroughly examines indoor photovoltaic (IPV) technologies and presents a comparative analysis of established systems, such as amorphous silicon, III-V, CdTe, and CIGS solar cells, as well as emerging alternatives, including organic, dye-sensitized, and perovskite solar cells. In addition to this chapter, solutions to the problems given in each chapter have also been included in this edition.
