  • THIN-FILM SOLAR CELL
    Publication number: 20130118552
    Abstract: A thin-film solar cell product, including: a thin film semiconductor having one or more solar cells formed therein, the solar cells having a front surface for receiving incident sunlight, and a rear surface; at least one reflective layer to reflect light that has passed through the thin film semiconductor without having been absorbed therein; and a scattering layer including broadband scattering particles configured to scatter light incident upon the scattering layer to increase the absorption of the light in the solar cells.
    Type: Application
