SEMI-TRANSPARENT THIN-FILM PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE

摘要

Semi-transparent thin-film photovoltaic modules and methods of making the same are described. A thin-film photovoltaic module comprises a transparent conductive oxide layer, a photoabsorptive layer and a reflective back contact layer. A series of scribes is created between application of each layer with some scribes rendering transparent portions of the final module.
