    摘要: The invention pertains to a solar cell unit comprising a back electrode, a photovoltaic (PV) layer, and, optionally, a front electrode, with part of the surface of the solar cell unit not generating any energy, characterised in that on at least a portion of the part of the solar cell unit which does not generate any energy a colouring layer is present, while at least a portion of the energy generating part of the solar cell unit is free of a colouring layer. Preferably at least 50%, more preferably, at least 85%, more preferably still, at least 90% of the energy generating part of the solar cell unit is free of a colouring layer. The solar cell unit may be either a wafer-based solar cell unit or a thin film solar cell unit. The colouring layer may be applied on, e.g., the optionally present grid and/or in the case of thin film solar cell units on the part of the surface of the solar cell unit which does not generate any energy as a result of the connection in series.The solar cell unit preferably is made by means of a process where the application of the colouring layer is integrated into the process.The invention provides a coloured solar cell unit where the application of the colour need not be at the expense of the solar cell unit's output.

    摘要: The invention pertains to a method of manufacturing a photovoltaic foil supported by a carrier and comprising a plurality of photovoltaic layers which together have the ability of generating electric current from incident light, a back-electrode layer on one side adjacent and parallel to the photovoltaic layers, and a transparent conductor layer on the other side of, and adjacent and parallel to the photovoltaic layers, which method comprises the following subsequent steps: providing a temporary substrate, applying the transparent conductor layer, applying the photovoltaic layers, applying the back-electrode layer, applying the carrier, removing the temporary substrate, and, preferably, applying a top coat on the side of the transparent conductor layer. The invention enables the roll-to-roll manufacture of a tough photovoltaic foil or device, while at the same time making it possible to use any desired transparent conductor material and deposition process, without jeopardizing the current-generating action of the PV layers.

    摘要: The invention pertains to a method of making a photovoltaic cell at least comprising the following layers in the following order: a first electrode layer, a transparent wide band gap semiconductor layer provided with a layer of a photosensitising dye or pigment which in combination with the semiconductor layer has the ability to spatially separate photogenerated electrons from their positive countercharges, a layer of an electrolyte, a catalyst layer, and a second electrode layer. The method is characterized in that the first electrode layer and the semiconductor layer and/or the second electrode layer and the catalyst layer are deposited on a flexible temporary substrate that is removed later on. The electrode or electrodes, which are deposited on the temporary substrate, are transparent. The invention allows the roll-to-roll manufacture of said photovoltaic cell while providing great freedom in selecting the processing conditions.

    摘要: A silicon nitride thin film formation apparatus is provided for stationary and moving substrates and a process for forming such films. The process provides high uniformity of film thickness and film properties as well as a high deposition rate. The film properties are adequate for application as an antireflection layer or passivation layer in solar cell devices or as dielectric layer in thin film transistors. The apparatus includes a number of metal filaments. In the space within the formation apparatus opposite to the substrate with respect to the filaments, a gas dosage system is arranged at a predetermined distance of the filaments. The film formation apparatus for stationary substrates also contains a shutter to control the starting and ending conditions for film formation and to control the film thickness.
