Enhanced Wide-Angle Energy Conversion Using Structure-Tunable Waveguide Arrays as Encapsulation Materials for Silicon Solar Cells (Phys. Status Solidi A 2∕2019)

Abstract

Silicon Solar Cells Broadband waveguide arrays created in the protective transparent encapsulant of a solar cell enable the collection of solar light over a wide angular window, thereby offering the potential to sustain conversion efficiency and performance over the course of the day and across seasons.
