"On December 1, 2025, the US Department of Energy changed the laboratory's name from "National Renewable Energy Laboratory" to "National Laboratory of the Rockies", stating that the new name "reflects laboratory’s expanding mission under the Trump Administration"

_________________________________________________________________________________________
I realize that THIS note set cites few tutorial resources.
That's because, having spent essentially all my career
researching and teaching about the conversion light energy into
electrical energy, I didn't have to draw upon external sources
to author this note set. HOWEVER:
- If there is any part of this note set that you would like me
to clarify and/or expand
- OR if YOU have identified particularly effective
supplemental teaching resources on photovoltaics
Then PLEASE send me that information (via the
site's Contact webpage: link)
and I will either modify this note set and/or add links to those
teaching resources on this page
