SOLAR PANEL AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SUCH A SOLAR PANEL

摘要

A solar panel (1) includes: a plurality of semiconductor substrate based solar cells (2), a transparent front side plate (4), and a rear side plate (6). The transparent front side plate (4) is stacked on top of the rear side plate (6) and the plurality of solar cells (2) are arranged in an array in between the rear side (6) plate and the front side plate (4). Each solar cell (2) has a light receiving surface facing (8) towards the front side plate (4); the solar cells (2) being embedded in an encapsulant layer (10) between the front side plate (4) and the rear side plate (6), wherein the solar panel comprises internal light redirection means (12; 20) for guiding light received on the solar panel (1) but not captured by the solar cells (2), towards the solar cells (2).
