This study indicated that the combination of mica pigment coating and surface texturing is a promising way to realize fascinating colors and a high energy yield simultaneously in BIPV modules. Lightness was measured by L* value, and power generation efficiency was measured by the decrease in short-circuit current density. The results showed that a combination of mica pigment coating and surface texturing can achieve high brightness while suppressing efficiency loss.
