  • Publication number: 20170279407
    Abstract: In a photovoltaic module (1) comprising a plurality of electrically interconnected solar cells (2) embedded in an encapsulation film(5) at least on one side and arranged at a distance from one another, and, if appropriate, a rear-side film (6) and a light-transmissive cover plate, light-guiding films forming prism-like structures (4) are integrated in regions of the photovoltaic module (1) that are free of solar cells (2) and the prism-like structures (4) and complementary air and gas pockets (8) are arranged alternately. The prism-like structures (4) of the light-guiding films are arranged in such a way that light impinging on the light-guiding, prism-like structures (4) is guided in the direction of the solar cells (2).

  • Patent number: 9640688
    Abstract: A light-absorbing or light-emitting solar cell assembly comprises an electrical insulator disposed on an electrically conductive substrate and that is provided with a metallized surface and at least one solar cell connected to the electrically conductive substrate, wherein the solar cell includes refractive secondary optics and is disposed in a recess in the insulator. The solar cell is connected to the substrate by the side orientated towards the substrate via an electrically conductive connection and the recess is dimensioned such that an interspace is produced laterally between the solar cell and the electrical insulator, the interspace being filled with a coupling medium and the solar cell being connected to the metallized surface by at least one electrical contact.
