Finding some Solar Energy books/articles

[Nguyen Son]

Hi everybody, I'm working on a Solar Energy project and I'm a newbie in this field.
Could you suggest some good intro books/articles and PV system simulation books? (I'm using MATLAB)
Note that my major in university are Solid State Physics and Computational Physics so I will not hesitate to read books based on those fields.
Thank you so much

Can you say more about your project? What aspects of solar energy are you exploring with your project and simulations?

For example, are you familiar with MPPT and why it is so important in solar energy conversion applications?

And are you familiar with the very important "Anti-Islanding" feature that is needed when tying a solar generation facility to the Grid?

The more information that you can give us, the better we can help you out. Paging @OmCheeto @anorlunda
