Plasmonic colouring is another option to change the visual aspect of solar cells after its fabrication. The interaction of light with metal nanoparticles is wavelength dependent. Colour is produced by an increased scattering of light with wavelengths close to the plasmonic resonance frequency of the metal nanoparticles.
Understandably, the application of a coloured layer over the solar cell will reduce the absorbed light in the cell and consequently the short-circuit current and power of the module. The loss in power will depend on the printing density and ink itself.
Thus, extraordinary color changes from blue to yellow could be achieved while keeping transparency. Thereupon, photovoltaic performance showed notable improvements, with Jsc increasing from 7.98 mA/cm2 to 9.95 mA/cm2 and 10.45 mA/cm2 for 1DPC5 − 425 and 1DPC3 − 650, respectively.
Coloured PV would be installed in the built environment and, in many cases, at suboptimal orientations. This, coupled to the coloured layers on top of the solar cells, could result on an impact in the energy yield, consequently influencing both the return on investment and the carbon intensity of such products.
Through varying microsphere sizes, solar cells with different colors are achieved, showing low PCE loss compared to normal black cells. These colored solar cells are also encapsulated with a general lamination process to produce PV modules with various colors and patterns at a stunning PCE approaching 21%.
Color rendering characteristic of a semi-transparent organic solar cell. CRI and TCSs for λ B = 700 nm in N = 2, 4, 6, 8 periods in ST-OSC/ (MgF 2 /MoO 3) N. With the addition of 1D-PC to ST-OSC, the CRIs are significantly reduced, as expected. Because the PBG created by 1D-PC reduces the transmittance of ST-OSC at all wavelengths in VR.
