Hunting hidden electricity in crystalline solar cells with new encapsulation technique

Korean researchers claim it is possible to extract more than 10% of 'hidden electricity' in crystalline solar cells using a new encapsulation process based on poly-dimethylsiloxane coatings and a three-dimensional module structure. Compared to EVA films, the new coating is said to avoid cutting off short-wavelength light.Scientists at South Korea's University of Science and Technology are proposing a new manufacturing process which replaces EVA films with poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coatings for the encapsulation of PV modules. The new process, which is based on a three-dimensional module ...
