| Sumario: | The performance of a prototype opaque-type colored silicon-based solar cell integrated with liquid crystalline cholesteric layers is investigated. These devices were developed using only organic components and wet processes, without complicated vacuum processes. The evaluated performances of the prototype solar cells were inferior to those of the other types of previously reported colored solar cells because of the inherent limitations of the cholesteric layers, such as the limited reflectance (~50%), narrow color gamut, and viewing angle-dependent color changes. We propose effective strategies for improving the performance of colored solar cell modules integrated with cholesteric layers. |
