  • Publication number: 20080053518
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a transparent solar cell system, which comprises: a light-permeable solar energy conversion device, balance units and conductive wires. The light-permeable solar energy conversion device has a transparent photovoltaic element, which is a PN semiconductor structure formed of two transparent conductive films. The transparent conductive films are respectively made of different oxides. The substrate of the transparent solar cell system is made of a common glass or a common plastic; therefore, the transparent solar cell system of the present invention is lightweight and environment-friendly. Further, the present invention has a simple fabrication process and a low fabrication cost; therefore, the present invention can be extensively applied to the windows and doors of buildings and vehicles and benefits the popularization of solar energy.
