SOL-GEL COATINGS FOR SOLAR CELLS

Methods for formulating and depositing a sol-gel coating onto a surface of a solar cell to provide improved radiation damage resistance. The sol-gel contains a solvent, alkoxyzirconium and an organosilane, with an organic acid catalyst and optionally a surfactant. The sol-gel coating can be deposite...

Zusammenfassung:	Methods for formulating and depositing a sol-gel coating onto a surface of a solar cell to provide improved radiation damage resistance. The sol-gel contains a solvent, alkoxyzirconium and an organosilane, with an organic acid catalyst and optionally a surfactant. The sol-gel coating can be deposited by spraying and the sol-gel coating is cured. The invention reduces manufacturing steps and overall weight of the solar cell energy.
