Where Can I Find Resources for Studying the Physics of Solar Panels?

AI Thread Summary
A user is exploring the possibility of pursuing a PhD in solar panels, specifically focusing on the intersection of physics and solar energy technologies like quantum dots. They seek recommendations for books and resources to deepen their understanding of the physics behind solar energy, which is essential for crafting a compelling PhD proposal. While they have already identified potential programs for application, they emphasize the need for foundational knowledge to address key research challenges in the field. The discussion highlights the importance of thorough preparation and understanding of available academic resources before proceeding with the proposal and funding applications.

Hello,
I am considering to do a phD in solar panels, because it seems to connect areas I've been studying for a while. I am almost a chemical Engineer with master in physics and Science/Technology Bachelor.
I'd like to do some on solar panels connected to physics, like quantum dot or something. Since I never worked with that, I have two questions:
1. what books on solar energy should I read?
2. do you know any material that can help me on opening up my mind on the subject?

Thanks in advance.

Your approach will likely be constrained by the available programs. Find the available programs first (given your geographical constraints) and then wok from there. It's not like every school has a solar panel program.

Thank you very much for you reply Dr. Courtney, but I already did it and I know where I will apply. For founding I need to write my proposal first and then ask for financial found. The thing is that I need to read a lot about the physics behind solar energy and the problems we need to answer as researchers, so I can write the PhD proposal. That's why I asked people which books and material are good.
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
