Abstract :
Study on the structure that enhances the absorption of the reflected light from the interconnect ribbon area and the cell spacing area is presented. The Light Capturing Film (LCF) is designed and attached onto the ribbon and cell spacing to increase the light absorption. The result of PV mini-module with the LCF shows 2.0% power improvement compared to the conventional structure.
