Need something to study over the long nights of winter, [southern climes
excepted] here's an excellent source of university level information on solar
PV at the physics level.
An OpenCourseWare (OCW) is a free and open digital publication of high quality
university level educational materials. These materials are organized as
courses, and often include course planning materials and evaluation tools as
well as thematic content. OpenCourseWare are free and openly licensed,
accessible to anyone, anytime via the internet. OpenCoursewWare:
a.. does not require any registration
b.. is not a degree-granting or certificate-granting activity
c.. does not provide access to TU Delft faculties.

About OpenCourseWare
Delft University of Technology [Delft, Holland] has joined the OpenCourseWare
Consortium in offering the world free access to certain course content online.
TU Delft OpenCourseWare (OCW) seeks to capitalize on the potential of the
internet to eliminate borders and geographic distance as obstacles to the
instantaneous exchange of knowledge and new ideas. Unlike distance learning
programs that charge tuition, provide formal instruction and limit
participation, OpenCourseWare offers all course materials free to everyone with
online access. Educators from around the world may upgrade their classes;
students may enhance their coursework or pursue self study; the general public
may glimpse the depth and breadth of what leading universities are offering and
benefit from reading lists and lectures.
OCW does not require any registration and is not a degree-granting or
certificate-granting activity. It is instead an effort to share knowledge and
make the best educational use of the Internet's potential. The project has
already been embraced by students and educators around the globe, many of whom
are from areas where educational resources are scarce or difficult to access.
