Sunrise to sunset optimization of thin film antireflective coatings for encapsulated, planar silicon solar cells [PDF]

, 2009
We present an approach for the optimization of thin film antireflective coatings for encapsulated planar silicon solar cells in which the variations in the incident spectra and angle of incidence (AOI) over a typical day are fully considered.
