BUS BARS FOR SOLAR MODULES

摘要

A solar module (200) includes a photovoltaic cell (201) having a front surface and a rear surface. The photovoltaic cell (201) is configured for converting light into electricity. Fingers (204) are disposed on the front surface of the cell and are electrically connected to the cell to conduct electricity generated by the cell. The fingers (204) are spaced apart from each other by gaps (206). A bus bar (210) is disposed on the front surface of the cell and connected to at least the fingers (204) to conduct electricity from the fingers. The bus bar (210) is configured to facilitate the transfer of heat generated during soldering of a conductor to the bus bar away from locations of the soldering. Figure 3
