Description
"Designing with Photovoltaics" cover a broad range of topics related to the design of products, buildings and vehicles with integrated photovoltaic (PV) technologies including storage aspect. It enables the reader to easily design new products, buildings and vehicles through use of innovative PV products. Diverse categories of product integrated PVs are discussed including applications of solar power for mobility and building integrated systems along with design- and manufacturing-related information about solar cells. Illustrating design cases of various PV-powered products, special attention is paid to end-users and environmental aspects of PV applications. Aimed at senior undergraduates, graduates and professionals in electrical engineering, architecture, design, physics, mechanical engineering and those specifically studying photovoltaics, it
Covers the different product integrated photovoltaics (PIPV) with a focus on design and manufacturing
Presents comprehensive overview of all aspects of designing with photovoltaics
Includes product integrated PV, building integrated PV and solar powered mobility concepts
Contains real design cases showing how to design with photovoltaics
Discusses context of environmental issues and user aspects

Person
Angele Reinders is a full Professor in Design of Sustainable Energy Systems at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands and an Associate Professor at University of Twente, also in the Netherlands, where she runs a research group on Sustainable Energy & Design. Her research focuses on design, product development and system integration in the framework of sustainability and renewable energy technologies. In particular, approaches are explored that support a better integration of new energy technologies in products, buildings and local infrastructure with the purpose to increase sustainable energy use and energy-efficient behavior by end-users in the context of living, working and mobility. She has practical experience with applications of PV solar technologies, fuel cells, energy storage technologies, LEDs etc. In her ongoing projects she focuses on Smart Grids and PV applications like PV systems, PV modules, PV powered boats, BIPV and product integrated PV. She has published more than 100 papers, edited two books and is a co-founding editor of the IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics. Also she was the Technical Program Chair of IEEE-PVSC-40 in 2014 and the Chair of the IEEE PVSC-44 in 2017. She has a vast international experience and stayed at Fraunhofer ISE (Germany), World Bank (US), ENEA (Italy), Jakarta and Papua (Indonesia) and the Centre for Urban Energy (Canada) for her research. She holds a Master title in Physics and completed a PhD in Chemistry from Utrecht University, the Netherlands. At present she teaches in the Study of Industrial Design Engineering and the Master of Sustainable Energy Technology. With students she explores the possibilities of designing with photovoltaics in various design and research projects.
