Inhaltsangabe

"This is an essential book for anyone aiming to start a career in solar power or just seeking a deeper understanding. It’s also an entertaining read, salted with personal anecdotes and, in places, wry humour. Jenny Chase gives a lively account of how she rose through a precarious startup to become the head of solar analysis at Bloomberg. There is helpful career advice. At its core the book contains detailed analysis of the history, technology, economics, finance, and business practices of the photovoltaics industry and her views on its prospects. The style is relaxed and discursive, and the reader feels privileged to be enjoying a coffee and a friendly chat with someone who is uniquely well informed about this industry so vital for our future." Neil Hirst Imperial College London "This book is good for getting — and keeping — a job as a solar analyst." Francesco d'Avack Solar Analyst IHS Markits "A must-read for anyone interested in renewable energy and the energy transition." Read Full Review Jason Deign Jason Deign Associates S.L.
