The anti-reflective coating (ARC) is an essential component in inverted metamorphic triple-junction gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells (IMM-SCs) to improve the light absorption and efficiency. The common approach to realize AR function is to construct a multilayer thin-film with a gradient refractive index (n) change from air to the solar cell.
Are solar cells anti-reflective or self-cleaning?
The applications on the solar cell are only anti-reflective, whereas applications on the cover glass can be both anti-reflective and self-cleaning.
