Problems solved by technology

However, conventional silicon solar cells cannot provide a natural open view through the upper surface, i.e. the sunroof of the vehicle, due to their opacity
Also, conventional sunroofs use expensive silicon solar cells, which are not cost-effective and add weight to the vehicle

Embodiment Construction

[0032] It should be understood that the term "vehicle" or "vehicular" or other similar terms as used herein includes motor vehicles in general, for example, passenger vehicles including sport utility vehicles (SUVs), buses, trucks, commercial vehicles of all kinds, including various boats and ships' watercraft, aircraft, etc., and includes hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, combustion, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, hydrogen powered vehicles, and other alternative fuel vehicles (eg, fuels derived from sources other than petroleum).

[0033] Such as Figure 1A As shown, the unit dye-sensitized solar cell includes a structure in which a working electrode 10 and a counter electrode 20 are bonded to each other with an electrolyte 17 interposed therebetween. The solar cell includes a dye (not shown) for absorbing light and emitting electrons, a thick semiconductor oxide film (or electro-optic electrode) 13 coated on an electrode substrate 11, and a dye for filling electrons in ...

Abstract

Disclosed is a solar cell sunroof for a vehicle in which a solar cell using a substrate which can be flexibly bent depending on a curvature of the body of the vehicle is provided. More specifically, the solar sunroof uses a low-priced semi-transparent solar cell. In the solar cell sunroof for a vehicle, a solar cell module is attached to one side of the sunroof. This solar cell module includes a flexible plastic substrate which can be bent along the curved surface of the sunroof, the flexible plastic substrate can be made of polymers including polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, polyacryl, polyimide, polyamide, and polystyrene, a blend material mixing two or more of the polymers, or a copolymer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solar sunroof for vehicles. More particularly, the present invention relates to a solar cell sunroof for a vehicle using a low-priced semi-transparent solar cell using a substrate capable of flexibly bending according to the curvature of a vehicle body. Background technique [0002] With growing interest in the field of environmentally friendly energy sources, much research has recently focused on optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells. Among them, next-generation solar cells including dye-sensitized solar cells are considered suitable for building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) because they can be installed along smooth curved surfaces of buildings, exhibiting beautiful color aesthetics and reflecting visual advantages, through With this visual advantage, the interior and exterior of the building can be rendered translucent. [0003] In addition, silicon solar panels have recently been mounted on the upper surface of...
