Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for enhancing the efficiency of a photovoltaic module by subjecting it to extremely-low-frequency (ELF) electromagnetic radiation (EMR). The ELF EMR can be provided by a plurality of identical Jacob's ladders and the traveling arcs generated thereby. Alternatively, the ELF EMR can be provided by passing the photovoltaic module over an array of quartz discharge tubes in which arcs are generated between pairs of tungsten electrodes. The photovoltaic module is subjected to multiple passes in order to provide an optimum level of enhancement to the module.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for enhancing the efficiency of a photovoltaic module comprising the steps of:\n subjecting an active surface of the photovoltaic module, as evenly as possible, to extremely-low-frequency (ELF) electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from at least one electric arc generated by ionizing atmospheric gases between a pair of spaced-apart electrodes that are positioned no more than about 22 mm from an active surface of the photovoltaic module, said at least one electric arc being isolated from the active surface by an insulative barrier.
