1. A method of making a photovoltaic device, the method comprising:

  • providing a soda-lime-silica based glass substrate which comprises from about 67-75% SiO2, from about 10-20% Na2O, from about 5-15% CaO, from about 0.1 to 8% MgO, and from about 0.1 to 5% Al2O3;

    texturing at least one major surface of the glass substrate to form a textured surface of the glass substrate;

    after said texturing, pyrolytically forming a transparent conductive oxide based coating comprising tin oxide on the textured surface of the glass substrate; and

    using the pyrolytically formed transparent conductive oxide based coating, formed on the textured surface of the glass substrate, as a front electrode in a photovoltaic device.
