Abstract

In this report we present our recent investigations of rare earth (Ce, Tb) implanted SiO2 thin films for Down-conversion (DC) as an application for solar cells. Photovoltaic modules (PV) are showing high losses in the ultra violet range of the incident sunlight, because of band gap losses and front layer absorption. DC layers are applied to the front surface of photovoltaic cells to enhance solar cell efficiency

Keywords: down-conversion; photovoltaic; rare earth atoms; solar cells
