Fullerene C60 doped polymeric nanocomposite coatings: moving solar spectra from ultraviolet to the deep red

Optical degradation impact on the spectral performance of photovoltaic technology

“…1. Most of the studies performed in the area of photovoltaic solar energy have focused on aspects such as improving the efficiency of PV modules [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], reducing costs [16][17][18], optimizing the design of the balance of system (BOS) [19], and the selection of the optimal orientation and inclination of the modules [20][21][22][23][24] . However, in the last 10 years, the number of publications on the different mechanisms of optical degradation, which affect the behaviour of PV modules [25][26][27], have significantly increased, as it is shown in Fig.…”
