Evaluation of Anti-Reflective Film on Solar Cell Using UV-2600 -Reflectance and Color Measurement-

Introduction

Due to heightened concern over problems related to the environment and energy, attention is being focused on clean energy produced by solar cells. A variety of components are used to enhance the performance of solar cells, one of which is anti-reflective film. Anti- reflective film that is formed on the surface of a solar cell acts to prevent the loss of energy from incident light by suppressing its reflection. Therefore, investigation of the reflective characteristics of this film is important. Here, we report on our investigation of the reflectance characteristics and color values of anti-reflective film using the UV-2600 with an integrating sphere mounted to allow measurement over a wider wavelength range, including the near infrared region.
