	This Photovoltaic Technology course covers this subject starting at the atomic level and building up to an atomic understanding of the inner workings of a photovoltaic cell. Using a comprehensive, partially animated slide presentation, we will see how the charged particles move as well as cover details of the governing equation and how it came about and important controlling factors in efficiency and manufacturing of both thin films and crystalline Si. This includes amorphous Si, CdTe and Cigs as well as GaAs and concentrated and tandem cells. All you need bring to class is a desire to learn. Not heavy with equations; Dr. Levine believes in qualitative understanding of material so you get the feel of it and can make judgments and improvements based on what you learned. First day is theory and Crystalline Silicon cell structure, and 2nd day is thin films theory and manufacturing details including tools and process flow.  You will enjoy this course from start to finish and be able to use the PowerPoint slides provided to help educate your colleagues and associates.
	The course fee is $1175 and includes a download of the PowerPoint slides as well as a hardcover copy of the material. For more detailed information, please contact Dr. Ernest Levine at elevine@uamail.albany.edu or 518 437 8623.
