SOLAR CELL MODULES

摘要

Solar cell modules having light scattering surfaces (26) at least in the land areas between a plurality of arrayed solar cells (10) and optically coupled to the cells by means of an internally reflective plate (20) having a planar surface (22) of incidence and an opposed textured surface (24) provides increased module output. Insolation (50) impinging on the light scattering surfaces (26) is diffused upward through the optical coupling medium and then downward toward a solar cell (10), thereby increasing the output of the module.
