Abstract
A bifacial thin film solar cell and method for fabricating the same are provided. The solar cell has a first and a second transparent substrates, a first and a second solar cell modules, and an insulating layer. The first solar cell module is formed on the first transparent substrate, and has a metal layer as one of the electrodes of the first solar cell module and as a light reflection layer. The insulating layer is formed on the metal layer of the first solar cell module. The second solar cell module is formed between the insulating layer and the second transparent substrate.
Claims13
A bifacial thin film solar cell is capable of absorbing both indoor and outdoor light, comprising:
- a bifacial cell unit, comprising:
- a first transparent substrate;
- a first solar cell module, arranged on the first transparent substrate, wherein the first solar cell module further comprises a first metal layer serving as one of electrodes of the first solar cell module as well as a reflective layer for the first solar module and a second solar module;
- an insulating layer, arranged on the metal layer of the first solar cell module, and
- the second solar cell module, arranged between the insulating layer and a second transparent substrate;
- and
- a glue layer, for gluing the second transparent substrate with the second solar cell module of the bifacial cell unit.
