Abstract
A device is provided. The device includes mechanically stacked layers. The mechanically stacked layers include a bottom layer and upper layers. Each upper layer includes a transmissive solar cell that converts light energy into electricity. Each upper layer transmits unconverted portions of the light energy towards the bottom layer. The bottom layer includes a solar cell that converts the unconverted portions of the light energy into electricity.
Claims1
A system comprising:
- a first transmissive solar panel configured to convert light energy into a first electricity and transmit unconverted portions of the light energy through the first transmissive solar panel;
- a second solar panel configured to convert at least part of the unconverted portions of the light energy into a second electricity;
- and
- a rack configured to mechanically stack the first transmissive solar panel and the second solar panel.
