摘要:
Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to photovoltaic modules that include high contact angle coatings on one or more outermost major surfaces thereof, and/or associated methods. In certain example embodiments, the high contact angle coatings advantageously reduce the likelihood of electrical losses through parasitic leakage of the electrical current caused by moisture on surfaces of the photovoltaic modules, thereby potentially improving the efficiency of the photovoltaic devices. In certain example embodiments, the high contact angle coatings may be nitrides and/or oxides of or including Si, Ti, Ta, TaCr, NiCr, and/or Cr; hydrophobic DLC; and/or polymer-based coatings. The photovoltaic modules may be substrate-type modules or superstrate-type modules in different example embodiments.
摘要:
A coated article is provided, having a coating supported by a glass substrate where the coating includes at least one color and/or reflectivity-adjusting absorber layer. The absorber layer(s) allows color tuning, and reduces the glass side reflection of the coated article and/or allows sheet resistance of the coating to be reduced without degrading glass side reflection. In certain example embodiments the absorber layer is provided between first and second dielectric layers which may be of substantially the same material and/or composition. In certain example embodiments, the coated article is capable of achieving desirable transmission, together with desired color, low reflectivity, and low selectivity, when having only one infrared (IR) reflecting layer of silver and/or gold. Coated articles according to certain example embodiments of this invention may be used in the context of insulating glass (IG) window units, monolithic windows, or the like.
摘要:
A method of making a coated article is provided, where the coated article may be used in a window or the like and may have at least one infrared (IR) reflecting layer in a low-E coating. The IR reflecting layer may be of silver or the like. In certain example embodiments, at least krypton (Kr) gas is used in sputter-depositing a silver inclusive IR reflecting layer. It has been found that the use of Kr gas in sputtering Ag targets results in an IR reflecting layer having improved resistance and emittance properties.
摘要:
A coated article for use in spandrel applications and/or the like is provided. In certain example embodiments, a coating is provided to have a coating design which permits the coating to realize more predictable and/or consistent optical characteristics such as glass side reflectance, color and/or the like. Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to a method of making a coated article for spandrel applications or the like. In certain embodiments, a powder inclusive lacquer coating is used as an overcoat.
摘要:
A low-E coated article is provided, in certain example embodiments, with a layer including tin oxide provided between a layer including titanium oxide and a layer including silicon nitride. It has been found that the provision of such a tin oxide inclusive layer between silicon nitride and titanium oxide can significantly improve durability of the resulting coated article, especially after heat treatment (HT). In certain example embodiments, the coated article may be formed so as to have a fairly high visible transmission (TY or Tvis) to sheet resistance (Rs) ratio (i.e., a ratio Tvis/Rs). Coated articles herein may be used in the context of windows or the like (e.g., laminated vehicle windshields).

摘要:
A coated article is provided with at least one infrared (IR) reflecting layer, and is designed so as to realize good blue glass side reflective coloration in combination with desired solar control characteristics. In certain example embodiments, the coated is designed to realize rather negative glass side reflective b* values, in combination with fairly neutral glass side reflective a* color values and good sheet resistance and/or emissivity. The coated article may be used in the context of architectural or other types of window units in certain example embodiments of this invention.
摘要:
A coated article is provided with at least one infrared (IR) reflecting layer (e.g,. silver based). In certain example embodiments, silicon nitride, zinc oxide, and an oxide of Ni and/or Cr are provided under the IR reflecting layer. It has been found that improved thermal stability may be realized upon heat treatment. In certain example instances, the silicon nitride may be replaced with tin oxide.
