Shape Effect on the Reflectance of Sub-Wavelength Structures on Silicon Nitride for Solar Cell Application

Sahoo K.C., Li Y., Chang E.Y., National Chiao Tung University, TW

Sub-wavelength structure (SWS) on anti-reflection coating instead of semiconductor surface can improve the efficiency of silicon solar cell has been studied both numerically and experimentally recently. The shape of the SWS may be somewhat variable [...]

Experimental study of solar spectrum impact on solar cells

Song X., Miller E.L., Garmire D., University of Hawaii at Manoa, US

Variations in solar spectrum can lead to changes in the performance and efficiency of solar cells, which operate at peak efficiency only over a relatively narrow band of the spectrum. Similarly heat absorbed by solar [...]
