TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a white solar module based on the combination of two different elements: a solar cell able to convert solar infrared light into electricity and a selective filter which reflects and diffuse the whole visible spectrum.

TL;DR: In this paper, the color of a solar module is defined as a region defined by an x value of 0.15 to 0.75 and a y value between 0.20 to 0.50, in a chromaticity diagram of a CIE 1931 Yxy color system.

TL;DR: In this article, a new generation of photovoltaic elements based on silicon thin films technologies (amorphous and micromoph) are developed, which will be ultra-reliable and manufacturable at a very low cost, allowing a good architectural integration, respectful of the environment, landscape and built environment.
