Abstract
Antireflection coatings (ARCs) increase the absorption of light and, therefore, the conversion efficiency of solar cells. Mullite was chosen as the ARC material for a silicon (Si) solar cell and was synthesized by melting a charge consisting of a mixture of Al2O3 and SiO2 at a component concentration of 75 and 25 wt.%, respectively. It has been established that the integral reflection (RS) of ARCs based on mullite is about 6.0 times less than for silicon and about 2.5 times less than the RS of a coating based on silicon nitride. The electric characteristics measured by a solar simulator before and after vacuum deposition of a mullite film with a thickness of 80–85 nm on solar-cell samples showed an increase of short-circuit current up to 49.5% and a rise in efficiency up to 6.8%.
