In this study, we proposed an anti-reflection (AR) texture constructed with nano-scale silicon dioxide particle dispersed in Accuglass® T-11 solution to form the structure on the glass by two-steps spin coating technique. We demonstrated the transmittance of the glass with AR texture will be enhanced about 2 % under optimal manufactured conditions. And we have proposed the simulated out-door endurance testing of AR texture which can provide the acceptable transmittance at different relative humidity levels. Based on these findings, we believe that the AR texture with SiO2 nanospheres on the cover glass can be useful in the applications of solar cell, thermal collector, and display device under appropriate environmental conditions.

One Step

We report an anti-reflective cover glass for Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin film solar cells. Subwavelength structures (SWSs) were fabricated on top of a cover glass using one-step self-masked etching. The etching method resulted in dense whiskers with high aspect ratio. The produced structure exhibited excellent anti-reflective properties over a broad wavelength range, from the ultraviolet to the near infrared. Compared to a flat-surface glass, the average transmittance of the glass integrated with the SWSs improved from 92.4% to 95.2%. When the cover glass integrated with the SWSs was mounted onto the top of a CIGS device, the short-circuit current and the efficiency of the solar cell were enhanced by 4.38 and 6%, respectively, compared with a CIGS solar cell without cover glass.

Pv Module

Solar modules are being built with nearly the same configuration for decades now. The front is covered with a tempered glass pane. The performance of a PV module can be increased by the texturation of the front side. One of the major requirements for front cover glasses is their high optical transmission. One option to boost transmission is texturing the front surface in a similar manner to crystalline solar cell. Another advantage of a textured glass is the fact that the reflected light beam at normal incidence has a second chance of being transmitted to the solar cell. Furthemore, the texturation of front cover glass might collect more dust and soiling than a flat glass surface. Due to this concern, the soiling effect of module covered with textured cover Alberino P glass after long-term exposed will investigated in this work. The modules presented in this work have the same characteristics in STC (i.e short circuit current, open circuit voltage and maximum power point). Electroluminescence, I-V and P-V characteristic are the method used to detect faults on the PV module. The results show a loss of PV performance with textured cover glass is l,72% higher than the reference module in other hand the increase of serie resistance is also observed in both modules
