The Gambia has abundant solar energy but a significant shortfall in electrical generation and distribution capacity, along with a growing demand for electricity. This paper will outline areas in the application of photovoltaics (PV) in The Gambia which are both technically and economically...

This paper will discuss the socio-economic benefits that the Gambia has derived from photovoltaics (PV) and its future potential. Technical performance, reliability and cost estimates are assessed for some PV applications.

The integration of photovoltaics into façade systems provides the opportunity for a distinctive, visual character as well as contributing electricity to the building needs. This paper will discuss some design and performance issues, using three systems in the UK as examples. These include...

Transaction cost analysis (TCA) is used to identify characteristics of distributor and manufacturer transaction costs within an MRO channel that are correlated with particular types of exchange behavior. Asset specificity, frequency of transactions, bounded rationality, and the number of viable...
