Corrections to ‘‘Thermal Impact of Rear Insulation, Light Trapping, and Parasitic Absorption in Solar Modules’’ [Jul 22 1043-1050]

In the above paper, there were errors in digitizing spectral irradiance and extinction coefficient arrays. With fixed to tabulated AM1.5G standard, full-spectrum absorptance of GaAs changes by 2%. This change is on order uncertainty reflectance measurements. Furthermore, this can be balanced a proportional increase convection coefficient, leading no visible most figures. However, last two figures, 1%–3% for 1 °C modeled temperatures. error commensurate with sample-to-sample variability coefficients. Finally, original abstract should updated “In Si modules, light trapping more than doubles parasitic absorption encapsulation layers, limiting maximum sub-bandgap reflection 66%. Higher values require thorough optimization front, bulk, rear but could lower operating temperatures up 11 insulated modules.” uncorrected abstract, was stated 63%, potential 12 °C.
