Photosynthetic protein complexes have an overall quantum yield close to 100%. Photovoltaic devices using protein complexes can provide an economical alternative to existing solar cells. This book explains how to build and improve the efficiency of protein solar energy conversion devices.

This book chronicles a few approaches to constructing biohybrid devices using photosynthetic protein complexes. Getting the photoproteins to perform this efficient energy conversion reaction in a semi-artificial setup is central to developing biohybrid solar technologies, a promising green alternative to today's photovoltaics.
