  • Photovoltaic device and associated fabrication method
    Patent number: 10770611
    Abstract: A photovoltaic device comprising: a plurality of photovoltaic cells, separated from each other; a support receiving the cells; and a light guide in contact with the cells and comprising a primary guide with a surface that is proximal to the cells, where the proximal surface is oriented towards the cells and the support. The photovoltaic device comprises, between the cells, areas located between the support and the primary guide which comprise a material with an index of refraction less than that of the proximal surface, where the material is in contact with the proximal surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 2, 2015
    Date of Patent: September 8, 2020
    Assignees: ELECTRICITE DE FRANCE, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE—CNRS-
    Inventors: Myriam Paire, Florian Proise, Daniel Lincot, Jean-Francois Guillemoles, Jean-Luc Pelouard, Sebastien Jutteau

  • Photovoltaic component with a high conversion efficiency
    Patent number: 9406819
    Abstract: A photovoltaic component that includes at least one first array of photovoltaic nano-cells is disclosed. Each photovoltaic component includes an optical nano-antenna exhibiting an electromagnetic resonance in a first resonant spectral band, at least one lateral dimension of the optical nano-antenna being subwavelength in size, and a spectral conversion layer allowing at least part of the solar spectrum to be converted to said first resonant spectral band.
