Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A solar module having improved photoelectric conversion efficiency is provided. The solar module ( 1 ) is provided with a bifacial light-receiving solar cell ( 10 ), a transparent member ( 15 ), a weather-resistant member ( 14 ), and a bonding layer ( 13 ). The bonding layer ( 13 ) includes at least two media ( 13 b, 13 c ) having different refractive indices. Interfaces ( 22, 23 ) are formed by at least two media ( 13 b, 13 c ) and are positioned in a region unoccupied by the solar cells ( 10 ). The interfaces ( 22, 23 ) are configured such that at least some of the light that is incident on the interfaces ( 22, 23 ) in a direction (z) perpendicular to the solar module ( 1 ) is guided to the back surface ( 10 b ) of the solar cells ( 10 ).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A solar module comprising: a bifacial light-receiving solar cell, a transparent member that reflects light arranged on the light-receiving surface side of the solar cell, a weather-resistant member arranged on the back surface side of the solar cell, and a bonding layer arranged in a space between the transparent member and the weather-resistant member; wherein the bonding layer including at least two media with different refractive indices, interfac…
