Transparent photovoltaics (TPVs), which combine visible transparency and solar energy conversion, are being developed for applications in which conventional opaque solar cells are unlikely to be feasible, such as windows of buildings or vehicles.
TPVs are expected to replace glass windows of buildings where conventional opaque photovoltaics (PVs) are unlikely to be applied directly, resulting in a significant increase in the area available for solar cells.
The LSC-type TPV generates electricity by delivering the light emitted from luminescent materials embedded in a transparent substrate to opaque PVs located at the edge of the transparent substrate. Several studies have been conducted recently on LSC-type TPVs because they show high transmittance with a neutral color.
In addition, the installation of conventional opaque solar panels on the exterior walls of buildings may detract from the original design of the building. 1 One of the measures to overcome these limitations is the development of transparent photovoltaics (TPVs).
TPV are intentionally designed to transmit light in a specific range of wavelengths in the solar spectrum, while conventional PV are designed to minimize the reflection and transmission of light to increase the PCE. When measuring the PCE of a TPV, in particular, the Jsc may be overestimated if the transmitted light is re-absorbed.
Recently, the Seo group developed a neutral-colored TPV 3 To that end, they attempted to fabricate a transparent c- Si wafer, which is the primary material of a c- Si PV. First, the size of the light-transmission window (LTW) was designed so that all visible wavelengths can be completely transmitted through the LTW.
