The PVEducation website reflects the input and assistance of many people, without whom the completion of this project would not have been possible.

The project started as a CDROM. Remember those? In the days when internet connections and bandwidth were limited, we distributed the whole website on a CD. In the initial stages, the support fom the members of the Photovoltaics Special Research Center is gratefully acknowledged, especially Stuart Wenham and Martin Green. Without their support  (financial, technical and in many other ways), this project would not have had a succesful start.  The authors also thank the industrial solar cell group of Jozef Szlufcik and Johan Nijs at IMEC (Belgium) for providing additional technical information and to Roland Einhaus (also at IMEC) for reviewing the beta release.

The conversion to a proper website was undertaken by Stanislau Herasimenka and we acknowledge all the work Stas did in technical details and as an author. We would like to thank Jeff Cotter for the interactive plotting program.

More recently, thanks to Jimmy Hack for converting the Flash Animations to HTML5.

Thank you to Pablo Guimera Coll and Prof. Mariana Bertoni for translating the site into Spanish.
