Neutral-colored transparent crystalline silicon photovoltaics. Neutral-color semitransparent organic solar cells with all-graphene electrodes. 25-cm2 glass-like transparent crystalline silicon solar cells with an efficiency of 14.5%. Solar cell efficiency tables (version 57).
Standard silicon (Si) solar cells have an antireflection coating between high-index silicon and low-index encapsulation. This layer is designed to have a minimal reflection in the red part of the solar spectrum because it maximizes the efficiency of power conversion. This single layer typically produces a dark blue appearance [ 17 ].
It is found that the color difference of polycrystalline silicon cells is mainly caused by the antireflective film. Then the matrix transfer method is used to simulate the reflection spectra according to the actual tested parameters of the samples, and the effectiveness of the simulation is verified.
Here, color-patterned silicon heterojunction solar cells are achieved by incorporating luminescent quantum dots (QDs) with high quantum yields as light converters to realize an asthenic appearance with high PCE.
When the surface of a PV cell is covered with a colored film used as an optical filter, some of the incident sunlight that passes through the film are used to generate electrical energy, while the other part is reflected or absorbed.
In general, the color of PV modules can be determined by the wavelength-dependence of the solar cell's absorptive materials or other optical materials applied to PV modules, for example, organic [ 13 ], dye-sensitized [ 14, 15 ], and perovskite [ 16, 17] solar cells all exhibit vivid color and semi-transparent appearance [ 18 ].
