I want to learn more about the sciences of PV and thinfilm solar panels, can anyone point me in the direction of a good book on the subject (or webiste)? Such as how they are made and how they actually harness energy.

 

Also, if anyone knows where to read more about wind energy, it would be greatly appreciated.

These guys do it on huge scales. There may be a few links on the following page that are informative:

This site might be of use also:

Good luck.

There is a lot of info on wind energy at our site: http://www.awea.org .
