内容説明

Breakthroughs in thin film technology, increased efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, and other worldwide efforts to develop clean energy sources have led to an annual 15 percent increase in the manufacture and sale of solar cells. Experts predict this growth to continue, putting engineers skilled in photovoltaic (PV) systems at a premium.
