As with the first edition, this update by Messenger and Ventre is very well suited for a one-semester upper division course in EE or Engineering Technology, or for self study if one knows basic electric (mainly DC) circuit theory.As the title suggests, it's an applications-oriented book, with semiconductor physics (appropriately) relegated to the last two chapters.There are very few derivatives or integrals in the text, and basic algebra is sufficient for the end-of-chapter exercises.Reading 20 pages per day and answering a dozen or so questions from the exercises will get the self-study student through the text in less than a month.PSE is also one of the few books recommended by the NABCEP for the Solar PV Installer Certification Exam.There are a number of excellent PV physics books available today, but this is the only complete and up-to-date systems engineering text I know of.Click Here to see more reviews about: Photovoltaic Systems Engineering, Second Edition (Hardcover)
