Von den Mikrostrukturen flexibler photovoltaischer Schichten bis zu ihrer Anwendung in seriengefertigten Bauteilen, von technischen Fragen über Herstellungsprozesse bis zu Marktperspektiven führt Sie diese handliche Referenz. Die Autoren berücksichtigen sowohl organische als auch anorganische Materialien, besprechen chemische und physikalische Eigenschaften der Zellen und gehen auch auf die Produktion in großem Maßstab ein. Viele Informationen können unmittelbar auf die Nanotechnologie übertragen werden.
