SiO 2, MgF 2, SnO 2, SiC, TiO 2, Al 2 O 3, and ZrO 2 are the materials most commonly used as antireflection coating in photovoltaic solar cells .
Antireflection Coatings on PV Cell basis of materials used, are covered in the a bove section s. In this section, the c urrently used and materials that have the prospective role in ac ting as antireflection coatings on PV modules.
On that sense, antireflecting coatings (ARC) have been incorporated in the solar cell fabrication process [16, 17, 18]. Commonly, ARCs are applied on the cover glass and/or directly on the SC and recently; these coatings have been combined with other materials to also consider the soiling problem, using self-cleaning process .
These reflection losses can be addressed by the use of anti-reflection (AR) coatings, and currently around 90% of commercial PV modules are supplied with an AR coating applied to the cover glass , . The widespread use of AR coatings is a relatively recent development.
This paper reviews the latest applications of antireflection optical thin films in different types of solar cells and summarizes the experimental data. Basic optical theories of designing antireflection coatings, commonly used antireflection materials, and their classic combinations are introduced.
The antireflection coating (ARC) suppresses surface light loss and thus improves the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of solar cells, which is its essential function. This paper reviews the latest applications of antireflection optical thin films in different types of solar cells and summarizes the experimental data.
