Improving the efficiency of poly-crystalline photovoltaic module using special transparent glass covers

Photovoltaic systems have become recently the most attractive and promising technology compared with other solar energy conversion devices. Solar energy reaches the earth’s surface in wavelengths between 0.300 and 2.50 µm. Silicon based photovoltaic systems convert only the wavelength between 0.35 t...
