6 FAQs about [Causes of color difference within photovoltaic cells]
What determines the color of solar cells?
In general, the color of PV modules can be determined by the wavelength-dependence of the solar cell's absorptive materials or other optical materials applied to PV modules, for example, organic [ 13 ], dye-sensitized [ 14, 15 ], and perovskite [ 16, 17] solar cells all exhibit vivid color and semi-transparent appearance [ 18 ].
Do colored PV modules cause optical loss?
From the point of view of solar energy conversion, as color is generated by visible light, the colored PV modules necessarily sacrifice part of the visible light and lead to some optical loss.
How does photovoltaic performance change from blue to yellow?
Thus, extraordinary color changes from blue to yellow could be achieved while keeping transparency. Thereupon, photovoltaic performance showed notable improvements, with Jsc increasing from 7.98 mA/cm2 to 9.95 mA/cm2 and 10.45 mA/cm2 for 1DPC5 − 425 and 1DPC3 − 650, respectively.
Do colored PV modules reduce PCE?
As the reduction in solar transmittance is insignificant, the J - V curves of all colored PV modules keep close to the normal black PV module. In comparison to bare Si PV modules, the incorporation of a color-controlling functional coating reduces the amount of solar energy on the Si solar cell, hence reducing a portion of the PCE.
Can PV modules be colored?
During the past few years, the coloring methods of PV modules have been most intensively studied.
What color are c-Si solar cells?
Standard c-Si solar cells have an inherent color of either black or dark-blue, which is a result of an optimized anti-reflective coating on a light trapping texture. The anti-reflective coating on c-Si cells is mostly made of silicon nitride with a thickness optimized for generating a maximum photocurrent under solar irradiation .
