ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
In recent years, the undergraduate subject Applied Photovoltaics, originally within the
School of Electrical Engineering and now within the Centre for Photovoltaic
Engineering at the University of New South Wales, has been taught by Dean Travers,
Christiana Honsberg, Armin Aberle and Alistair Sproul. Alistair Sproul has provided
significant help in the preparation of this edition, especially in proofreading, advising
on corrections and supplying data. The feedback from students, advice on content and
organisation and the additional course material provided are gratefully acknowledged.
The contributions from numerous members of the Centre for Photovoltaic
Engineering at the University of New South Wales, particularly those of Jenny
Hansen, Roman Balla, Robert Largent, Matt Edwards and Robert Passey, and from
David Roche of Greenwatt Pty Ltd, with regard to typing, formatting, figures and
eventually typesetting, have been very valuable and greatly appreciated.
