Iles studied at Auckland University College, graduating Bachelor of Science in 1948, and Master of Science with second-class honours in 1952.[2] He later moved to the United States, settling in California and becoming an American citizen,[3] where he worked as an engineer developing solar cells, including those used on early American satellites.[4] In 1991, Iles received the William R. Cherry Award from the IEEE Electron Devices Society for his prolonged and sustained contribution to the field of photovoltaic conversion.[5] He continued to publish on the subject until at least 2004, contributing a chapter, "Photovoltaic conversion: space applications", to the Encyclopedia of Energy published by Elsevier that year.[6]
