SHINGLED SOLAR CELL MODULE

摘要

A high efficiency configuration for a solar cell module comprises solar cells arranged in a shingled manner to form super cells, which may be arranged to efficiently use the area of the solar module, reduce series resistance, and increase module efficiency.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a solar module comprising a front surface including a first series connected string of at least nineteen silicon solar cells each having a breakdown voltage greater than about 10V, and grouped into a super cell comprising a first silicon solar cell arranged with a side overlapping and conductively bonded with an adhesive to a second silicon solar cell; and a flexible electrical interconnect conductively bonded to a solar cell surface and accommodating thermal expansion of the solar cell in two dimensions.
