Abstract
Increasing the amount of light that reaches the cell is one approach to improved photovoltaic (PV) module efficiency. In current designs using weathering layers of glass or poly(co- ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene) (Teflon® ETFE), some light is lost due to reflection and scattering due to haze. Teflon® FEP, poly(co- tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene), offers both a lower index of refraction and higher transparency than existing front sheet...
