  • Publication number: 20170263796
    Abstract: Solar cells in accordance with a number of embodiments of the invention are encapsulated by a material that can render the front contacts of the solar cells effectively invisible at certain angles of incidence. Front contacts of a solar cell provide a way for current to escape from the solar cell. However, these front contacts cover portions of the photoabsorbing substrate, blocking incident light that could otherwise be utilized by the photoabsorbing substrate for electrical power generation. By encapsulating the solar cell and using encapsulated volumes above the front contact that define interfaces, light reaching the interface can be refracted due to the different refractive indices of the two media. Depending on the refractive index ratio, total internal reflection can occur at certain angles of incidence. Totally internally reflected light can be redirected away from the front contacts and onto the photoabsorbing substrate, thereby reducing optical waste.
