  • Publication number: 20150340516
    Abstract: A front sheet of solar cell, a method of manufacturing the same and a photovoltaic module are provided. The front sheet of solar cell can effectively block infrared rays (IRs) by forming an IR blocking layer including a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) material on a substrate. Thus, an increase in temperature of a cell can be suppressed so that the power generation efficiency of the cell can be improved. Also, the multi-layered sheet can be configured so that a UV blocking layer including a fluorine-based polymer and a wavelength conversion material can be formed on the IR blocking layer. Thus, wavelengths of a UV region can be converted into wavelengths of a VR region so that the power generation efficiency of the cell can be improved, and discoloration and deformation caused by UVs can be prevented so that the weather resistance can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20140011947
    Abstract: An environmentally friendly backsheet for a solar cell, a method of manufacturing the same, and a photoelectric cell module are provided. The backsheet for a solar cell is manufactured by preparing an aqueous dispersion composition by dispersing a fluorine-based polymer in water, applying the aqueous dispersion composition to a substrate, and melting the aqueous dispersion composition. Therefore, compared to the conventional art using an organic solvent, an increase in production cost may be prevented, and the backsheet is environmentally friendly since an organic solvent having high toxicity is not used. In addition, the backsheet has better physical properties such as adhesive strength and color change stability under the extreme conditions (high temperature and humidity), compared to a backsheet for a solar cell commercially available in the current market.
