High efficiency silicon solar cells: methods of light capturing; Silizium Solarzellen mit hohem Wirkungsgrad: Methoden des Lichteinfangs

Abstract

The significance of efficiency for the conversion of solar energy into electricity is discussed in this article on the basis of the study entitled `Costs degression of photovoltaics`. One method for increasing the efficiency is the absorption of longwave light for which a large optical distance is required. This may be achieved by means of a diffraction grating. Theoretical studies of suitable diffraction gratings and their experimental realisation are discussed. 3 figs.
