Technical FAQs 4
Can glass be used as a mirror for concentrated solar power?
We then turn to glass and coated glass applications for thin-film photovoltaics, specifically transparent conductive coatings and the advantages of highly resistive transparent layers. Finally, we discuss the use of coated glasses as mirrors for concentrated solar power applications.
Why is glass important for solar energy?
Despite the abundance of solar radiation , significant energy losses occur due to scattering, reflection, and thermal dissi-pation. Glass mitigates these losses by functioning as a protective layer, optical enhancer, and spectral converter within PV cells.
How does glass improve photon absorption & conversion?
Advances in glass compositions, including rare-earth doping and low-melting-point oxides, further optimize photon absorption and conversion processes. In addition, luminescent solar concentrators, down-shifting, downconversion, and upconversion mechanisms tailor the solar spectrum for improved compatibility with silicon-based solar cells.
Can glass improve solar energy transmission?
We begin with a discussion of glass requirements, specifically composition, that enable increased solar energy transmission, which is critical for solar applications. Next we discuss anti-reflective surface treatments of glass for further enhancement of solar energy transmission, primarily for crystalline silicon photovoltaics.
