More Information
Summary:The present invention is directed to a process for producing solar panels having an antireflective film designed to capture more incident light. The film increases the transmission of light through the film and a substrate by reducing the amount of light reflected and by minimizing optical loss in the film and at the interfaces. By allowing more incident light to transmit to the underlying solar cells, the solar panel can produce more electricity, thereby operating at a higher efficiency. The process uses lamination, particularly thermal lamination, to apply a light capturing film onto the front surface of a solar panel. The light capturing film comprises of a cross-linked fluoropolymer antireflective coating on top of an optically clear carrier film.
