The transmittance is demonstrated through a coated glass window over the entire accessible portion of the solar spectrum in its testing.

Magnolia Solar Corporation president and CEO Ashok K Sood said that the antireflection technology has the potential to increase the power output of any photovoltaic module, which includes crystalline silicon and thin-film technologies by reducing the reflection losses.

"Nano structured optical coatings can increase the power output of fixed, flat-plate modules by minimizing reflection losses throughout the day. This patent-pending technology has the potential to benefit a wide variety of specialized military and commercial optical window applications," added Sood.
