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 plurality of super cells arranged in rows on a solar module front surface, each super cell comprising at least nineteen silicon solar cells having a breakdown voltage of at least 10V arranged in line with end portions of adjacent silicon solar cells overlapping and conductively bonded to electrically connect the silicon solar cells in series; wherein an end of a first super cell adjacent to a module edge in a first row is electrically connected to an end of a second super cell adjacent to the module edge in a second row via a flexible electrical interconnect bonded to the front surface of the first super cell.
