From Space to Earth:
The Story of Solar Electricity

by John Perlin

www.chelseagreen.com/bookstore/item/from_space_to_earth:paperback

This book from the coauthor of A Golden Thread, offers a fascinating, fun-to-read, historical account of the unfolding of the photovoltaics (PV) industry. It begins with a quick review of efforts and frustrations in trying to cost-effectively generate electricity from sunlight via thermal energy, then covers in detail the discovery and harnessing of photovoltaics—the direct conversion of sunlight into electricity. Well worth the read, especially for anyone involved with specifying or installing PV equipment.
