We present a customizable and potentially cost-efficient technique of coloring photovoltaic modules by laminating colored textiles onto photovoltaic cover glass (CoTex). A white nonwoven fabric is imprinted with any color, design, or graphic and is then laminated onto an arbitrary, frameless photovoltaic module. The short-circuit current losses of these modules range from 12% to 32% and depend on the type and coverage of the color, i.e., how much of the solar cell structure remains visible. Uncolored fabrics generate a grayish photovoltaic module with a short-circuit current density loss of 11% relative to a standard module. We fabricate CoTex building-integrated photovoltaic test modules and experimentally analyze their durability, UV stability, energy yield, hiding of the solar cells and appearance.

使用压印纺织品对光伏模块进行后期着色


我们提出了一种可定制且具有潜在成本效益的技术，通过将彩色纺织品层压到光伏盖板玻璃 (CoTex) 上来对光伏模块进行着色。白色无纺布上印有任何颜色、设计或图形，然后层压到任意的无框光伏组件上。这些模块的短路电流损耗范围为 12% 至 32%，具体取决于颜色的类型和覆盖范围，即有多少太阳能电池结构保持可见。未着色的织物产生浅灰色的光伏模块，其短路电流密度损失相对于标准模块为11%。我们制作了 CoTex 建筑一体化光伏测试模块，并通过实验分析其耐用性、紫外线稳定性、发电量、太阳能电池的隐藏性和外观。
