  • This text provides an up-to-date description of the photovoltaic (PV) components and systems. It contains detailed information on several carefully planned experiments on solar PV cells and modules. The book is divided into two sections: User Manual and Experiments. The experiments are related to the ‘characterization’ and ‘simulation’ of solar cells to allow the users to measure various kinds of data on solar cells, modules and PV systems. The simulation experiments would enable the users to simulate solar cells and circuits containing solar cells. The Manual provides an intuitive grasp of PV system components and their behaviour in the field through a discussion of the underlying objectives, expected outcome, theory, equipment used, measurement methodology and results. The Manual will help users in understanding and execution of various experiments related to solar PV.

    This book would be an extremely useful reference manual not only for the technicians and system installers working in the PV field, but also for the students and researchers interested in understanding the fundamental aspects of PV system components and their interconnection.

  • North East India is one of the most linguistically diverse regions of the world, with over 100, and perhaps as many as 200, different languages spoken. This book aims to produce a volume reflective of both the linguistic diversity of the region as well as the high quality of current research on North East Indian Linguistics. The articles in this volume cover four of the language families represented in North East India: Tai-Kadai, Indo-Aryan, Tibeto-Burman, and Austroasiatic. Divided into seven sections, the book presents the description and analysis of a wide variety of phonological, syntactic, morphological, socio-linguistic and historical topics in the study of several languages of the region – origin of the Boro-Garo language family, Boro-Garo grammar, serial verbs in a hitherto undescribed variety of Boro, information about Dimasa dialects, phonology of Hajong, a language of Assam and Meghalaya, and analysis of copula constructions in Assam Sadri. The volume also contains an analysis of pronouns in Madhav Kandali’s Ramayana, a version of the Ramayana written in colloquial Assamese of the fourteenth century. The final section in this volume discusses serial verb constructions in the Austroasiatic language war, the most detailed discussion of war syntax and semantics to date.Contributions in this volume range from renowned scholars of Tibeto-Burman linguistics to students from the North East making their first impact in the field of Linguistics. The book will be of interest to linguists, anthropologists, social scientists and general readers with an interest in the study, preservation and appreciation of North East Indian cultural and linguistic diversity.

  • Summary

    India has launched the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) in 2009 with the ambitious target of installing 20,000 MW of solar power in the country by the year 2022. In order to achieve such a target, there is a need for a large number of trained people in the area of Solar Photovoltaics.

    It is our pleasure to present this PV lab training manual as part of the ‘Teach a 1000 Teachers’ training programme on Photovoltaics. This initiative is part of the National Centre for Photovoltaic Research and Education (NCPRE, www.ncpre.iitb.ac.in), established at IIT Bombay by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). We hope that this training initiative taken by NCPRE will be useful in fulfilling the manpower needs of JNNSM.

    The manual contains detailed information on several carefully planned experiments on solar PV cells and modules. The planned experiments are in the areas of ‘characterization’ and ‘simulation’. The characterization experiments are planned to allow you to measure various data on solar cells, modules and PV systems. The simulation experiments enable you to simulate solar cells and circuits containing solar cells. For each experiment the details, such as its objective, expected outcome, theory, the equipments used, measurement methodology, results and discussion, are given.
