Abstract

A decal for use in forming a solar cell comprises an antireflective precursor material and a patterned electrically conductive material. The antireflective precursor material and the patterned electrically conductive material are disposed over a base material. The antireflective precursor material can be one or more layers of paste which form an antireflective coating upon being fired. A cover layer can be disposed over the antireflective precursor material and the electrically conductive material.
