In this work, we present transparent solar cell substrates having quasi-periodic uniaxial nanowrinkle patterns with high optical haze values.
In a previous work we demonstrated the feasibility of adopting porcelain stoneware tiles as thin-film solar cell substrates and we fabricated 1×1cm2 solar cells on "industrial-level" ceramic substrates showing more than 4% efficiency.
He began his work employing semiconductor electrochemistry for the mapping of minority carrier life-time in solar cell substrates and in the emerging field of porous semiconductors and related self-organization phenomena.
These types of substrates were used widely in a range of applications such as anti-stain coating, anti-fogging, solar cell, flexible substrate fabrication, self-cleaning, and anti-icing coatings [6] [11].
The solar array is modeled as a three node system, viz., outer layer, solar cell and substrate.
In a flexible organic solar cell, the substrate underneath the transparent electrode is typically a plastic such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), and organic materials are deposited on top of the electrode.

We present a comprehensive investigation of morphological changes inside the active layer of an organic solar cell induced by substrate heating during layer deposition by thermal evaporation in ultra-high vacuum.
The cells investigated in this work have areas in the range 2 10 mm2. Figure 3 Schematic diagram of a single-junction Si QD solar cell on quartz substrate.
