How to design an anti-reflection coating layer for solar cells
In this video we have designed an anti-reflection coating layer by utilizing of the Fresnel equations.
We have derived the equations for reflectivity of a single thin layer and double thin layer that is coated on the surface of silicon solar cell and plotted them in the MATLAB.
We will see that by having of such a thin layer we can achieve zero reflection at a desired wavelength and zero-reflection bandwidth can increases considerably by having of a double thin layer.
