Abstract

The invention discloses hydrophobic and spectrum selective glass for a solar cell and a manufacturing method of the glass. The manufacturing method of the glass specifically comprises the steps that a glass body serves as a substrate, and a spectrum selective film layer and a hydrophobic film layer are arranged on one face of the substrate from bottom to top in sequence, wherein the spectrum selective film layer is used for absorbing the spectrum with the wave length equal to or shorter than 380 nm, and the hydrophobic film layer is used for reducing adsorption. By means of the glass, adsorption of dust, stains, vapor and other matter can be effectively reduced, the surface of the glass can be kept clean and dry for a long time, and high conversion output power of a crystal silicon solar cell module can be kept for a long time. In addition, optical protection can be well provided for an EVA film in the crystal silicon solar cell module, and the service life of the module is obviously prolonged. The manufacturing method is suitable for large-area film coating of encapsulating glass for the solar cell, the raw material cost and the manufacturing cost are low, and the production efficiency is high.
