Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a pleasure to present the inaugural issue of the editorial board of the new journal Solar. Here, most of the editors contributed an article from their specialist field. The editorial board covers a wide range of expertise and experience in the field of solar sciences and technologies. Consequently, the articles collected here cover not only photovoltaic materials such as silicon, perovskites, and organic semiconductors, but also photovoltaic system technology, and also the thermodynamics of photovoltaic energy conversion. These articles are complemented by a review on the status of photovoltaics in Argentina, as well as by an article on simulation, and, last but not least, an article considering the combination of photovoltaics, heat pumps and energy storage.
We are looking forward to receiving more manuscripts from authors that could make a difference in the spread of solar technologies, including those covering solar thermal technologies and also photovoltaic and solar thermal storage systems.
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Heinz Werner
Guest Editor
