Abstract

PURPOSE:To protect an ITO film while coloring a solar cell almost not deteriorating the efficiency of the solar cell by forming a film reflecting light of only a narrow band of wavelength to a protective film attached onto ITO. CONSTITUTION:A film reflecting light of only a narrow band of wavelengths is provided to a protective film mounted on an ITO film (a transparent conductive film) 5. That is, since the carrier collection efficiency of a solar cell is not kept constant with respect to wavelengths and has a peak in collection efficiency, efficiency as the solar cell does not deteriorate remarkably and is kept within a practical range even when other wavelength zones are brought to the state of total reflection when the zones of efficient wavelengths of 500-600 nm are brought previously to a nonreflective state. When the peak of reflectivity to the wavelengths of the film is sharpened beforehand, efficiency is not lowered even between the wavelength zones of 500-600 nm, and the solar cell can be colored distinctly because the peak of reflectivity is steep.

The carrier collection efficiencies of the amorphous silicon solar cell and the crystalline silicon solar cell with respect to octopus n are shown in 8.9 of FIG. 5, respectively. As can be seen from this figure, the carrier collection efficiency of a solar cell is constant with respect to wavelength (2), and has two peaks in collection efficiency. If it is set to reflection, even if other wavelength ranges are total reflection, the efficiency as a solar cell will not drop significantly and remain within the practical range.If the peak of the reflectance for the wavelength of the film is made sharp, Even in the band of 500 (nm) to 600 (nm), it is possible to provide vivid colors without reducing efficiency and because the reflectance peak is sharp.
