Selective response surface methodology for Anti Reflective Coated Nano-film filter thickness optimization in hybrid PVT system by Kundan Kumar Sharma, Prakash Chandra

“…To overcome these issues a novel Hybrid Anti Reflective Coated Nanofilm Filter is proposed in which a Polycarbonate nano-film filter is utilized since its refractive index is unaffected by temperature changes. This nano-film filter is coated with Zirconium oxide (ZrO2), which improves the path length of light rays inside the nano-film filter, and a Cerium Oxide (CeO2) nano-coating is utilized over this coating to lower the quantity of light reflected off the surface of the solar panel. …”
