BACK REFLECTOR FOR USE IN PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE

摘要

This invention relates to a photovoltaic device including a back reflector. In certain example embodiments, the back reflector includes a metallic based reflective layer provided on an interior surface of a rear glass substrate of the photovoltaic device. In certain example embodiments, the interior surface of the rear glass substrate is textured so that the reflector layer deposited thereon is also textured so as to provide desirable reflective characteristics. The rear glass substrate and reflector thereon are laminated to the interior surface of a front glass substrate of the photovoltaic device, with an active semiconductor film and electrode(s) therebetween, in certain example embodiments.
