Transparent Solar Cell Cavities for Clarity and Power Generation

The patent applies local quality by creating blind cavities at specific locations rather than uniform perforations. The cavities are positioned to allow light transmission while maintaining electrical functionality in other areas. This localized approach to transparency optimization resolves the contradiction by providing optical benefits where needed without sacrificing overall electrical efficiency across the entire solar cell surface.

The solar cell surface is segmented into multiple blind cavities distributed across the structure. This segmentation allows different regions to serve different functions - some areas provide transparency through cavities while other areas maintain electrical efficiency. The segmented approach enables simultaneous optimization of both transparency and electrical performance by distributing the functional requirements across multiple localized zones.

The patent extracts the light-trapping function from the first electrode surface roughness and relocates it to the blind cavity structure. By removing the roughness from the electrode and replacing it with geometric cavity structures, the solution eliminates the harmful light scattering that causes blurring while preserving the beneficial light absorption and trapping effects. This extraction resolves the contradiction by separating the optical functions from the electrical conduction function.

The blind cavities act as an intermediary structure between the first electrode and the external environment. Instead of using electrode roughness to trap light, the cavities serve as intermediate optical elements that guide and trap light through their geometric structure. This intermediary approach provides light management benefits without the negative scattering effects, resolving the contradiction between electrical efficiency and image clarity.
