    Abstract: A photovoltaic device including a composite down-converting layer disposed on the device, is presented. The composite down-converting layer includes down-converting material particles dispersed in a matrix. The size of the down-converting material particles is a function of a difference in respective refractive indices (Δn) of the down-converting material and the matrix such that: (i) for Δn less than about 0.05, the size of down-converting material particles is in a range from about 0.5 micron to about 10 microns, and (ii) for Δn at least about 0.05, the size of down-converting material particles is in a range from about 1 nanometer to about 500. A photovoltaic module having a plurality of such photovoltaic devices is also presented.

    Abstract: A monolithically integrated photovoltaic (PV) module is provided and includes a first electrically conductive layer and an insulating layer. The first electrically conductive layer is disposed below the insulating layer. The PV module further includes a back contact metal layer, a p-type semiconductor layer, a substantially intrinsic semiconductor layer with a median grain size of at least about five μm and comprising cadmium and tellurium, and an n-type semiconductor layer. The substantially intrinsic layer is disposed between the p-type and the n-type semiconductor layers forming an active semiconductor stack. The back contact metal layer is disposed between the insulating layer and the active semiconductor stack. The PV module further includes a second electrically conductive layer disposed above the active semiconductor stack, at least one first trench extending through the back contact metal layer, at least one second trench extending through the active semiconductor stack, and at least one third trench extending through the second electrically conductive layer.
