An anti-reflection (AR) coating is an important component for reducing reflection loss, increasing absorption, and improving the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of a solar cell. Some researchers have therefore implemented single- and double-layer AR coatings into solar cells to reduce the reflection loss .
On a solar module, three different types of shielded coatings were tested. The nanofilms utilized are coated with a combination of carbon and ceramic particles of 25 to 50 nm and, as per the manufacturer's specifications, have a 99 % IR and UV blocking rate. Three nanocoatings with glass layers wit h the same measurements as the solar cell panels.
