  • Abstract
    Study on the structure that enhances the absorption of the reflected light from the interconnect ribbon at active cell area is presented. Light Capturing Film (LCF) is designed and attached onto the surface of the ribbon to increase the light absorption. The result of PV mini-module with the proposed structure shows 1.3% Isc improvement compared to normal structure.
