Abstract

The present invention provides a method for improving power generation efficiency of a solar cell, comprising: providing a synergistic structure for allowing the solar cell to receive light through thereof, wherein the synergistic structure is a three-dimensional structure; the three-dimensional structure has a surface area that is larger than a surface area of the solar cell, a refractive index of substances that used to construct the three-dimensional structure is higher than a refractive index of environmental substances around the solar cell, and improving an interface condition of the solar cell could increase light introduced into the solar cell and improving power generation efficiency of the solar cell.

Claims (8)

1. A method for improving power generation efficiency of a solar cell, comprising: providing a synergistic structure for allowing the solar cell to receive light through thereof, wherein the synergistic structure is a three-dimensional structure; the three-dimensional structure has a surface area that is larger than a surface area of the solar cell to improve power generation efficiency of the solar cell by increasing light introduced into the solar cell, wherein the three-dimensional structure is a structure formed by liquid or a combination of solid, liquid and gas, wherein the liquid is alcohol having a height of 6-11.25 centimeters.

2. A method for improving power generation efficiency of a solar cell, comprising: providing a synergistic structure for allowing the solar cell to receive light through thereof, wherein the synergistic structure is a three-dimensional structure; the three-dimensional structure has a surface area that is larger than a surface area of the solar cell; and a refractive index of the three-dimensional structure is higher than a refractive index of environmental substances around the solar cell, wherein the three-dimensional structure is a structure formed by liquid or a combination of solid, liquid and gas, wherein the liquid is alcohol having a height of 6-11.25 centimeters.

3. A method for improving power generation efficiency of a solar cell, comprising:

providing a synergistic structure for allowing the solar cell to receive light through thereof, wherein the synergistic structure is formed by liquid, wherein the synergistic structure has a surface area that is larger than a surface area of the solar cell to improve power generation efficiency of the solar cell by increasing light introduced into the solar cell;

configuring the synergistic structure on a surface of the solar cell, or immersing the solar cell in the synergistic structure, wherein the liquid is alcohol having a height of 6-11.25 centimeters;

reducing the temperature of the solar cell by the synergistic structure through thermal conduction, thermal radiation, thermal convection, flow or phase change to increase power generation efficiency of the solar cell.

4. A device for improving power generation efficiency of a solar cell, comprising:

a synergistic structure configured on the solar cell for allowing the solar cell to receive light through thereof, wherein the synergistic structure is a three-dimensional structure, the three-dimensional structure has a surface area that is larger than a surface area of the solar cell, a refractive index of the synergistic structure is higher than a refractive index of environmental substances around the solar cell, wherein the three-dimensional structure is a structure formed by liquid or a combination of solid, liquid and gas, wherein the liquid is alcohol having a height of 6-11.25 centimeters.
