Glass can be effectively utilized as a substrate in photovoltaic technology, particularly within thin-film solar cells, where it provides mechanical stability and contributes to optical management.
It is employed in various capacities, including protective cover/layer, substrates, optical coatings, and spectral converters. Advanced glass materials enhance the efficiency, durability, and operational lifespan of photovoltaic systems by improving light management, thermal stability, and mechanical resistance [28, 29].
Within the category of flat glass, various types are utilized in solar cell applications, including low-iron tempered float glass, anti-reflective coated glass, and others.
The advancements in glass technology, such as rare-earth doping and the incorporation of heavy metal oxides, have shown promise in optimizing the solar spectrum for improved energy absorption and conversion.
