MULTI-DIODE SOLAR CELLS

摘要

Solar cells can include a plurality of sub-cells that include a singulated and physically separated semiconductor portion such that adjacent ones of the singulated and physically separated semiconductor portions can have a groove therebetween. The solar cells can include a metallization structure that couples ones of the plurality of sub-cells. An interconnect structure can couple adjacent ones of the solar cells.

1. A photovoltaic laminate, comprising:
a first half wafer comprising a first plurality of sub-cells, each of the sub-cells of the first plurality of sub-cells comprising a singulated and physically separated semiconductor substrate portion, wherein adjacent ones of the singulated and physically separated semiconductor substrate portions have a groove there between; and a first metallization structure, wherein a portion of the first metallization structure couples ones of the first plurality of sub-cells, wherein the groove between adjacent ones of the singulated and physically separated semiconductor substrate portions exposes a portion of the first metallization structure.
