Abstract :
A colorful see through BIPV module with high power output and pretty appearance is demonstrated in this study. Different thin reflective layers (patent pending) are employed to create desired colorful appearance and fully integrated with production process. Several colorful modules, such as purple, dark blue, light blue, silver, golden, orange, maroon and chocolate, have been developed. The highest power of this module is 108W and the highest transmittance is almost 20%.
