Description of the invention: [Technical field of the invention] The present invention relates to a solar cell, and more particularly to providing a surface element for improving solar energy Battery efficient solar cells. [Prior Art] A solar cell generally includes a solar element configured as a semiconductor element. The semiconductor component receives and converts the energy supplied by the sun into a current. In this way, the radiant energy of the sun will enter the semiconductor component and generate a free charged carrier therein, and then the solar cell is more efficient than the material used by the internal electric field 200941746, and can enter the solar component and generate Free belt load: The square part depends on the #射量 and the various shot densities, and on the other hand depends on the wavelength of the radiation. At this point, the shorter efficiency is due to the light of the shorter wavelength being the light of high energy and light. , = (4) The difficulty of solar cells, in the morning and evening in the sophomore first - people shot at the angle of the solar cell, so that the big heart people shoot green reflection 'so a considerable number of people shot on the solar battery The light cannot be converted to current. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION There is provided a problem of the knowledge of the art of the present invention. The object of the present invention is to provide a solar cell in the rib to solve the problems associated with the prior art.发明 The object of the invention is to provide an effect of increasing the efficiency of the solar energy rate and increasing the incident light of the solar radiation into a flat angle, which is also effective, and another feature according to the invention is defined by the scope of claim 1 The above-mentioned object can be achieved. The solar cell comprises a solar element, preferably 70 pieces of + conductor. By means of this solar element, the radiant energy can be converted into electrical energy in the same known way. - the cover member for the transmission can be covered with a solar 7G element, the cover element being used in particular to avoid contamination, so that the cover element used in the invention can be made, in particular, of glass or plastic which can be transmitted by sunlight, and the cover element The cover element can be directly attached to the solar element or disposed at a distance from the solar element, and preferably the cover element is a planar shape. According to the invention, a surface element having a diffractive property is provided on the covering member. Preferably, the surface element is formed by protrusions which are preferably small in size and arranged in large numbers and which comprise at least one side a diffraction grating for guiding incident sunlight. Thus the surface elements constitute incident sunlight towards the solar element. The effect of the direction of diffraction. Therefore, especially if the sunlight is incident on the solar element at a flat angle 大部分, most of the sunlight does not reflect, but most of the incident sunlight is diffracted, so that it can be used to generate energy. In this method, the efficiency of the solar cell is greatly improved, because the light incident on the solar cell can be used in a larger amount than in the conventional solar cell, particularly in the morning and evening. The gist of the present invention is to change the direction of the incident light by diffraction, i.e., by bending it in a grating rather than by refracting it toward the effective surface of the solar cell. Diffraction or bending only occurs in a grating having at least one shorter than 1 〇〇〇〇nm2 纽 光栅 grating + period, preferably a short grating period in the range of 300 to 9 此外 and in addition to in wider gaps The diffraction occurs only at the edges. However, substantially the light guiding phenomenon X occurs due to the law of refraction, which is different from optical light guiding, which represents a light guiding phenomenon in a geometric object, such as a lens or the like, and is not equal to light diffraction or light refraction. The preferred method of designing surface elements, particularly with respect to their size and their surface configuration, is to illuminate the element at an angle of less than 45 degrees with respect to it, and is directed toward the solar energy element. : The direction of the light entering the solar element is less than 3 degrees, more preferably 4 200941746 is less than 20 degrees, and preferably less than ί. According to the invention, in the process, more than 50%, preferably more than 8%, of the high-energy light having a wavelength in the range of 300 to 500 nm is biased toward the direction of the solar element, and thus is used for the generation of electric energy by a corresponding percentage. The direction of the solar element is biased toward the light passing through the surface element, with a particular preference for wavelengths below 5 〇〇 nm and preferably below 45 〇 nm, so that it has high energy. Thus, a preferred embodiment of the invention, if provided in an angular range for the total reflection of a solar cell of the presently known form, provides for the capture of light. At this point the 'total reflection angle depends in particular on the material used. Thus, the provision of this inventive surface element increases the range of angles at which light is deflected toward the solar element. Therefore, the efficiency of the solar cell can be greatly increased. Each surface element is preferably formed as a protrusion and has a shape of: or a cube. In particular, the upper surface of the surface element is used as the surface structure of the diffraction grating, and the surface structure is preferably wavy and particularly preferred to have a double sinusoidal waveform. The light diffraction of the corresponding wavelength is generated depending on the distance of the wave or the frequency of the wave structure. By the choice of surface structure, in particular the frequency and amplitude of the undulating surface structure, it is possible to define which light of a known wavelength range will be diffracted and in which direction the diffraction will occur. Preferred different surface elements include surfaces having different diffraction characteristics. Thereby, the light human radiation on the solar cell can be biased toward the direction of the solar element over a relatively wide range of wavelengths and angles, resulting in further modification of the efficiency of the solar cell. In particular, it is also possible to design the surface elements of the system in a well-defined angular range of the human-lighted wavelength range 5 200941746 towards the direction of the solar element, and vice versa. Preferably, each of the surface elements has a size of from 0.04 μm to 10,000 μm 2 ' and preferably from 〇.〇4哗2 to 5〇〇μηη2. The distance between the surface elements is preferably from 0 to 100 nm, more preferably from 50 to 50 nm, and most preferably from 0 to 15 nm. However, the mutual distance of the surface elements is particularly preferred to be greater than 〇nm, and more preferably greater than 1 run' and More preferred than 3 lungs. This provides the advantage of manufacturing the various surface elements if the surface elements are placed at a distance from one another. For example, if ❹ produces surface elements by a curable lacquer by a molding dement and a negative, respectively, the mutual spacing of the surface elements will prevent spoilage of the edges of the surface elements as if for example Paint boards (lacqUer webs) are produced. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the covering element is placed at a distance from the surface of the solar element. The surface element of the invention is disposed on the inside, i.e., on the 'side' facing the overhanging element of the solar element. Therefore, at least the extent of the pig is deflected by the surface element, and/or by reflecting the light reflected on the element by too much 1% of the element inside the cover element, this method causes the light to change direction to the sun for the element to generate energy. This embodiment is therefore conceivable as a light trap. Of course, this embodiment of the invention can be combined with the embodiments described above on the outer surface of the cover member, i.e., providing a surface having surface elements facing away from the solar element. According to another preferred embodiment, it is also possible to combine the two preferred embodiments described above, the covering element having an optical wheel-in turning element, such as a rib element, attached thereto. The rib element is, for example, a block-like element that is attached to the cover element in the direction of the cover element, and the rib element is disposed to the cover element. The light input coupling element can be solved by other geometries = 200941746, such as a mesh or a rod, and disposed on the cover member. For example, the light input coupling element may be cylindrical, or may be selected from a pyramidal shape, a partial pyramidal shape or the like. The light input coupling element is at least outside the cover element provided with the surface element and at least directs a portion of the incident light in a direction towards the solar element. According to the present invention, the enlargement of the surface is obtained by providing the rib member and the surface member, and thus the efficiency of the solar cell is greatly improved. The light input coupling element is preferably made of the same material as the cover element. In particular, the rib elements are made of a light transmissive material, preferably selected from the thermoplastic materials mentioned below or a combination selected from these materials: polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polycarbonate. Ester (PC), poly(mercapto methacrylate) (PMMA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (m), polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), polydisperse Vinyl fluoride (PVDF) and ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE). Further useful materials are mineral glass or FEP Teflon and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). The use of the above materials is often made by adhesive bonding via polyvinyl butyral G (PVB), hydrazine or ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EDPM). The use of composite structures, such as PVF-PET-PVF, is preferred, and the thickness of the packet layers is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 0.4 nm. In order to avoid leakage of light on the outside of the rib elements facing away from the solar element, it is preferred to provide a reflective element, such as a mirror element, on the outside, and the reflective element may be a vapor deposited layer or the like. It is known that the term "light" in the context of the present invention includes the entire spectrum of sunlight 7 200941746, which is also the non-visible range of electromagnetic radiation. [Embodiment] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, which is a first embodiment of the sun according to the present invention, a solar element 10 can be formed on a carrier element 12 by a semiconductor. The solar radiant energy embodied in the solar element 1 将 will cause the release of charge, and a current should be generated by the internal electromagnetism, which current can be output by the electric wire 14.在 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效 效The surface of the surface 16m of the key is provided with a plurality of surface elements, which are box-shaped red-shaped, and are preferably in a structure to form a surface having a diffraction effect.

Depending on the surface 10 of the preferred positive (four) line, as in the case of a gas vacancy, the optical radiation will be biased and thus redirected to the surface of the solar element 18|indicated by the form of the flat element. In particular, the present invention significantly improves the efficiency of solar cells when sunlight is incident on the above-mentioned third. The elements in this embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, or are similar to the preferred embodiments of the present invention. One of the faces 26 of the cover member 16 is disposed on the surface of the solar element 10, that is, filled with an empty space. The intermediate space 28 of the combination may be hollow, as shown in the figure, or may be filled with another medium. For example, a solid medium. For example, 32 partial reflection: when the beam is at the point of the upper surface 26 of the solar element 10, the point-like element does not have the setting of the present invention, and its substantial energy is generated. The direction of the arrow 34 is completely reflected and therefore cannot be used for production. 8 200941746 According to the present invention, the above problem can be avoided by providing a plurality of surface elements 2 to cover the inner surface 36 of the element 16.
