Abstract

In this work, we present measurements of angle resolved light absorption of antireflective (AR) glass of PV samples, performed indoors using a collimated high radiance broadband light source. This indoor method proved to be viable and offered a significant simplification compared to outdoor measurements with trackers. The experimental results showed optical responses that are stable and suitable for indoor characterization of solar cells. We find the characteristic optical response of six different antireflective glasses, and based on such measurements, we perform PVsyst simulations and present the monthly DC energy production estimates across four distinct latitudinal locations with six different glass types. The results indicated that the AR glasses present different optical effects at the angles intervals between 0 – 45° and 60 – 90° and that the Diffuse AR glass can improve monthly yields by as much as 2% relatively to a bare cell.
