The effect of zinc oxide (ZnO) content on the structural properties of the glass is very significant since ZnO fall as the intermediate materials where it can be network modifier or networks formers.
Zinc Oxide has important role in solar cell as it may enhance the absorption of light into the device and improve the electrical transportation. In the present work, we have used drop casting approach to fabricate the nanocrystalline ZnO film on a glass substrate.
Base-line commercial glass has a solar transmission of 83.7%. I.e. 16.3% of the sun's energy do not even get to the PV material. The energy loss is due - in equal parts - to reflection on the surface and absorption within the glass due to iron impurities. The density of glass is about 2,500 kg/m 3 or 2.5kg/m 2 per 1mm width.
Advances in glass compositions, including rare-earth doping and low-melting-point oxides, further optimize photon absorption and conversion processes. In addition, luminescent solar concentrators, down-shifting, downconversion, and upconversion mechanisms tailor the solar spectrum for improved compatibility with silicon-based solar cells.
