20090242021 | SOLAR CELL WITH COLORIZATION LAYER - Colorization of a solar cell is achieved by modifying a layer proximate an active layer of the solar cell. The color attribute may be obtained by selecting one or more narrow bands of wavelengths in the visible color spectrum to be reflected from the surface of the solar cell unit that results in a specific color or combination of colors at various angles. The spectrum of light reflected from the active solar cell area is controlled through the use of filters that reflect only limited portions of the spectrum, thereby minimizing the effect of reflected light on the overall efficiency of the solar cell. | 10-01-2009 |
