The ultimate goal of this project is improvement of the efficiency of photovoltaic modules through increased transmission of light by the module cover. One method of increasing transmission is by reducing the reflection of light by the module cover, a reflection which accounts for a 4% loss of transmission for each coverglass-air interface. This study is intended to advance a known antireflection technology to the point where large area glass module covers can be treated to produce uniform, efficient, and durable antireflective films. Progress is reported.
