I understand that there are two ways that increase the yield of the solar module: the increased light transmission and the decreased temperature of the cell.

Something just doesn't seem right to me. If increased light transmission was possible through pyramid structured glass, what are the basic formulas behind this phenomenon?
If there is a gain with pyramid glass, what is the optimum angle and height of pyramid to have the maximum gain?
