TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The photovoltaic device comprises a semiconductor material comprising silicon, cadmium sulfide, cadmium telluride and/or gallium arsenide.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INSTRUMENTATION AND TESTING - Preferred Components: The transparency of the coating is above 92% transmittance. The securing mechanism comprises an optically transparent adhesive. The UV absorber permits radiation of at least one predetermined range of wavelength to transmit through the UV-curable coating, where the predetermined ranges of wavelengths corresponds to ranges of wavelengths having peak response for a predetermined photoinitiator and the photoinitiator includes a peak response to radiation in the UV range. The photoinitiator includes a transmittance spectrum with a range of low transmittance extending from 200-300 nm, a range of increasing transmittance extending from 300-380 nm, and a range of high transmittance extending from greater than or equal to 380 nm. The UV absorber includes a transmittance spectrum with a range of low transmittance extending from 290-350 nm, a range of increasing transmittance extending from 350-380 nm, and a range of high transmittance extending from greater than or equal to 380 nm. The acrylic film includes a transmission versus wavelength plot including a low transmission region, an increasing transmission region, and a high transmission region, where the increasing transmission region of the transmission versus wavelength plot for the acrylic film extends from 370-430 nm. The system further comprises a second UV-curable coating applied to an opposing side of the acrylic film. In the system: the urethane acrylate blend forms 91% of the coating; the montmorillonite platelet forms 5% of the coating; the light stabilizer forms 0.5% of the coating; the UV absorber forms 0.5% of the coating; and the photoinitiator forms 3% of the coating.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The montmorillonite platelet comprises methyl, tallow and bis-2-hydroxyethyl quaternary ammonium, where the tallow comprises 65% 18C, 30% 16C and 5% 14C. The light stabilizer comprises bis(1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidyl) sebacate and methyl 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidyl sebacate. The UV absorber comprises 2-(4-((2-hydroxy-3-dodecyloxypropyl)oxy)-2 hydroxyphenyl)-4,6-bis(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine and 2-(4-((2-hydroxy-3-tridecyloxypropyl)oxy)-2-hydroxyphenyl)-4,6-bis(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine. The photoinitiator comprises oligo(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-(4-(1-methylvinyl)phenyl)propanone) and 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl propan-1-one.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Components: The urethane acrylate blend comprises aliphatic urethane acrylate oligomer and 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate. The acrylic film comprises poly(methyl methacrylate).
