With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a glass system of a solar photovoltaic panel 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises an energy guiding assembly 10 in which two energy collecting layers 15, two energy converting layers 16, and an energy storage system 17 are fixed. The energy guiding assembly 10 conducts a light energy in a single direction by ways of nano particles, the two energy collecting layers 15 are provided to collect photon beams of the energy guiding assembly 10, each energy converting layer 16 transmits an electrical energy in each energy collecting layer 15 toward the energy storage system 17. The energy guiding assembly 10 is also comprised of two glass layers 11 on a top surface and a bottom surface of the energy guiding assembly 10 respectively to retain a collecting panel 13, a reflecting panel 14, and a plurality of high vision light emit bonding films 12. The two energy collecting layers 15 and the two energy converting layers 16 cover two outer sides of the energy guiding assembly 10 respectively.

The collecting panel 13 is made of cross-linked polymer material, such as polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl methacrylate (MMA), or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). Furthermore, compound pellets of the polymer material are placed for a while before use and then are treated in a surface functional group via optical nanoparticles, such as Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), chromium-molybdenum powder metal (Mo—Cr), molybdenum powder metal (Mo), zinc indium oxide (i-ZnO), oxidized zinc-aluminum alloy (ZnO/Al2O3), or copper gallium (CuGa). Thereafter, the optical nanoparticles are mixed with the compound pellets in a range between 0.01% and 10%, then a mixture of the compound pellets and the optical nanoparticles are extruded into a thin sheet, and a thickness of the thin sheet is adjusted in a range between 2 m/m and 12 m/m based on a transparency, an atomization or an intensity.

The reflecting panel 14 reflects a residual energy back to the collecting panel 13 when the photon beams penetrates the solar photovoltaic panel 1, thus enhancing photoelectric conversion efficiency. Furthermore, the reflecting panel 14 is a rigid polymer film made of micromolecule compound pellets, and a thickness of the rigid polymer film is in a range between 0.15 m/m and 0.30 m/m, the polymer film is spin-coated, curtain coated, or sprayed nano metal particles with high reflectivity thereon, and the nano metal particles are copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), or nickel ions (Ni), the polymer film is made of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Glycol Polyethylene Terephthalate (PETG), or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS).

Each high vision light emit bonding film 12 has a light-sensitive effect and is a bonding medium of the two glass layers 11, the collecting panel 13, and the reflecting panel 14. The each high vision light emit bonding film 12 is a carrier and is made of polymer materials to cover multiplier divergence nanoparticles, and the multiplier divergence nanoparticles are inorganic chemistry fluorescent particles, the inorganic chemistry fluorescent particles are diverging into an optical radiation through a processing to increase a light diverging ability for up to 15%-45% and are treated in the surface functional group by ways of the nano particles, thereafter the inorganic chemistry fluorescent particles are mixed with the polymer materials to form granulated rubber, and the granulated rubber is extruded to form flexible film. Furthermore, a content of nanoparticles material of the each high vision light emit bonding film 12 is adjusted in a range between 0.01% and 5%, and a thickness of the each high vision light emit bonding film 12 is in a range between 0.25 m/m and 1.0 m/m.

In operation, as shown in FIG. 3, when a light source 20 emits visible lights A, the visible lights A penetrate a glass layer 11 on the top surface of the energy guiding assembly 10 and contacts the plurality of high vision light emit bonding films 12, a part of the visible lights A are absorbed and conducted to the two energy collecting layers 15, and when the visible lights A penetrating an upper high vision light emit bonding film 12 contact the collecting panel 13, the light energy is absorbed and conducted to the two energy collecting layers 15, thereafter in middle, a high vision light emit bonding film 12 absorbs the visible lights A. However, when the rest of visible lights A contact the reflecting panel 14, a part of light energy reflects back to the collecting panel 13 and is absorbed by the middle high vision light emit bonding film 12 and a lower middle high vision light emit bonding film 12, the rest of visible lights A generate in the glass layer 11 on the bottom surface of the of the energy guiding assembly 10. Thereby, when the light sources 20 generate in the glass layer 11 on the bottom surface of the energy guiding assembly 10, they are absorbed by the plurality of high vision light emit bonding films 12 and the collecting panel 13, and then a part of the light source 20 is reflected by the reflecting panel 14 and absorbed so as to increase a photoelectric absorption and conversion efficiency.

In addition, the light sources received by the two energy collecting layers 15 are transformed into the electrical energy, and the electrical energy is stored in the energy storage system 17. A waste heat generating from the photoelectric conversion is scattered by ways of a conductive coating surface of the energy conversion layer 1, thus prevent parts of the solar photovoltaic panel from damage because of the waste heat.

As shown in FIG. 4, in another operation, the solar photovoltaic panel 1 is fixed on a wall 21, and when a sunlight source 30 or the light source 20 emits a natural light A, the natural light A is absorbed by the solar photovoltaic panel 1 and is converted into the electrical energy so as to supply power or is stored in the energy storage system 17. Also, the energy storage system 17 is selected from various power cells or batteries, such as lead acid batteries, Ni—Mh rechargeable battery, Ni—Cd rechargeable battery, LiFePO4 battery, Li/MnO2 battery, or the like. Thereby, the glass system of a solar photovoltaic panel of the present invention absorbs the visible lights in air to recycle photoelectricity.

Thereby, the high vision light emit bonding films of the glass system of the present invention is manufactured as follows:

1. The high vision light emit bonding films 12 are made by changing the inorganic material, such as CaCO₃ or TiO₂ or BoSo₄ or SiO₂, a lattice refractive index of the inorganic material must over 1.495, and the inorganic material is ground, crashed, smashed, and rearranged, wherein the SiO and the TiO, are ground and crashed 4-8 hours to increase their temperature up to 65° C. to 90° C. and are scattered into grains, a diameter of which is less than D99<1 μm, and the grains with a diameter less than 300 nm are eliminated so that the required grains have 300-950 nm of diameter.

2. In the grinding and scattering process, a temperature change has to be measured, wherein when the temperature reaches 97-107° C., a high-temperature type polymer dispersant is added, and a molecular weight of the grains is around 14000-21000 m/w, then the grains are ground and scattered continuously, and a bulk flow of the grains is finished, (around 0.5-2 kg/min and the grains are processed for 25-55 minutes), thereafter a temperature of the grains are lowered to 65-90° C., the grains are ground and scattered further. As the diameter of the grains in batch check is D99<1 μm, the grains are fed into a cooling tank in which a temperature is kept between 1° C. and 7° C., and then the grains are mixed to shrink instantly so as to make the plate like particles surface too curved to ball as like. In the meantime, the grains and the dispersant are combined together to form a structural disperse solution, and the Van der Waals force of the grains is released temporarily. Thereafter, a water of the disperse solution is eliminated in a freeze-drying manner to reach 0.5-2.5% of moisture content and matches with a suitable vehicle, thus obtaining dry and fluffy white powders.

3. If the moisture content of the powders is less than 1%, the powders match with nonpolar material, such as EVA, Epoxy, or Silicone, and if the moisture content of the powders is more than 1%, the powders match with PVB, PVA, PVC, PC, PS, or ABS. A dry film is used in the glass system and is extruded by an extruder, wherein in above-mention manufacturing process, the master batch is prepared in advance, and then mixing, kneading, melting, extruding, cooling, granulating, and eliminating water are processed so that the structured dispersants of the powder particles are mixed, thereafter the high concentrate master batch is fed into the extruder to extrude the high vision light emit bonding film, during which a reflectance value is between 1.495 and 1.690.

4. The vision light energy collecting layer of the present invention is comprised of hollow nanoparticles, wherein C₆₀-Hollow Nano-carbons is applied to collect and convert energy and is produced by using an arc discharge method to capture particles, and then the C₆₀-Hollow Nano-carbons is deposited on the cathode to lower its temperature and is ground, the covalent bond generates covalently attached function group. The glass system is carboxylated, and a manufacture process of the C₆₀-hollow nano-carbons includes steps of: high purity graphite vaporizating→depositing→cooling→(crushing, grinding, dispersing)→a diameter of the C₆₀-hollow nano-carbons is D100<100 nm, wherein the C₆₀-hollow nano-carbons is long or short and has different sizes and is closed, wherein the light energy is absorbed in the hollow nano-carbons by means of the Black-Body Theory to generate heat by which infrared electromagnetic waves are produced so that electromagnetic energy diverges the hollow nano-carbons quickly, hence the light energy is diverged toward the energy collecting layer at a light speed, wherein the energy collecting layer is solar cells selected from Mono, or Multi-Poly silicone, GaS, Amorphous Silicon Thin Film, CIGS, CuAs.

5. The hollow nano-carbons has different sizes and is circular, spherical, flat, or oval, and it forming and closed rate is above 95%. To spread the hollow nano-carbons evenly, at corners of the hollow nano-carbons are chemical hydroxyl bonding processed so that a hydrogen bond of the engineering polymer forms a chain bonding to use as a covalently attached function group.

6. The hollow nano-carbons is hydroxylated and mixed with the Polycarbonsate as shown in above Figure, then a mixture of the hollow nano-carbons and the Polycarbonsate is linked by mixing→kneading→extruding→melting→cooling→granulating→drying→packing master batch, thereafter the master batch is mixed with the vehicle at a certain proportion, a mixture of the master batch and the vehicle is fed into the extruder to produce a flat sheet in the energy collecting layer, a luminous flux of the flat sheet is controlled by controlling a concentration of the master batch, wherein the luminous flux of the penetration rate is over 70%, thereby generating transparent products.

7. The light energy is re-captured and is recycled by a reflecting layer, the reflecting layer is made of inorganic mineral or is nano-ceramic, such as Nano Size Calcium Carbonsate, Nano Size Barium Sulfate, Nano particles Silver, or Nano Size Tungsten, wherein the inorganic mineral is ground, crushed, dispersed, functional grouped, separated, dried, and packed. In addition, the metal ceramic is ionized by plasma and is collected for powdering, thus generating the master batch.

8. A mineral inorganic material is dispersed to the nano particles with a 15-200 nm by using a mechanical method and forms the dispersion by ways of chemistry chain. Although adding an anionic dispersing agent to synthesize with cation materials to form a stable dispersion, the mineral inorganic material is dried so that a diameter of the powers is kept in a range between 500 and 2000 nm without agglomeration, a secondary particle size of the materials is a lamellae, the light collecting panel is extruded so that the photon beams from the light source adjust automatically at a 90 degree and are conducted onto the two energy collecting layers 15, and infrared rays divergence by ways of the light collecting panel so that the lights penetrate the sunlight batteries on a back side of the energy guiding assembly 10, hence the light energy is converted into the electrical energy, and then the electrical energy is transmitted toward the energy store system.

9.
