摘要：
The solar cell integrated transparent antenna will serve the purpose of power generation as well as an antenna for satellites and can act as an asset to expand the possibilities of green technology. The goal is to enhance antenna characteristics without hampering solar cell performance. In this work, a super solar integrated optically transparent microstrip patch antenna has been studied using CST Microwave Studio along with Lumerical FDTD and DEVICE solutions. The optically transparent antenna has a Soda-lime glass substrate, with Indium Tin Oxide patch and ground plane. The fabricated antenna is integrated with a 25 x 40 mm2 thin-film silicon solar cell via epoxy resin. UV-Vis spectroscopy results revealed more than 90% transmissivity over a significant visible wavelength range. It has an operational bandwidth of 80 MHz (@5.48 GHz) and solar simulator results indicate that the photovoltaic performance of the proposed device is similar to that of a standalone solar cell.
