SOLAR CELLS AND MODULES INCLUDING CONDUCTIVE TAPES AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME

摘要

The inventors of the present disclosure recognized that elimination or reduction of the silver paste and/or silver busbars on the front and/or rear surfaces of solar cells and solar modules would advantageously lower the total cost of the solar cell and/or solar module. The inventors of the present disclosure recognized that the silver paste on the front and rear surface of solar cells or solar modules can be eliminated or the amount of silver paste reduced by replacing the silver busbars with a solderable tape including a conductive metal foil and a nonconductive adhesive.

主权项

1. A busbar tape comprising:
a conductive metal foil; and a nonconductive thermoset adhesive; wherein the tape is solderable and wherein the tape is capable of adhering to crystal-silicon photovoltaic material.
