Abstract
A photovoltaic system in which strips of active photovoltaic cells are coated on one side of a sheet of glass, the glass being illuminated by the sun from the other side of the sheet and the strips being separated by inactive areas devoted to electrodes, in which light diffusing areas are provided on said other side of the sheet of glass in superposition of the inactive areas in order to refract sunlight which would otherwise fall wholly on the inactive areas, on large part to the active areas of the cells.
