Outdoor Characterization of Solar Cells With Microstructured Antireflective Coating in a Concentrator Photovoltaic Monomodule
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Microstructured antireflective coatings (ARCs) have been identified as a promising solution to reduce optical losses in concentrator photovoltaics’ (CPV) modules. We fabricated and tested in field a CPV module made of four monomodules with a concentration factor of 250× that embed either solar cells with microstructured encapsulating ARC or solar cells with multilayer ARC as a reference. The microstructured encapsulating ARC was made of semiburied silica beads in polydimethylsiloxane. The module was in operation for one year in the severe climatic conditions of Sherbrooke, QC, Canada, before extracting the monomodules performance. Despite a suboptimal module design, we report a monomodule efficiency of 29.7% at 900 W/m2for a cell with microstructured encapsulating ARC. This proves the potential of microstructured encapsulating ARC to enable high-performance CPV systems.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
