PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES WITH IMPROVED ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND METHODS THEREOF

摘要

Photovoltaic module and method for making same. The module includes a first sub-module and a second sub-module. The first sub-module includes a first plurality of photovoltaic cells. The first plurality of photovoltaic cells is connected in series starting with a first photovoltaic cell and ending with a second photovoltaic cell. The first photovoltaic cell includes a first front electrode. The second photovoltaic cell includes a first back electrode. The second sub-module includes a second plurality of photovoltaic cells. The second plurality of photovoltaic cells is connected in series starting with a third photovoltaic cell and ending with a fourth photovoltaic cell. The third photovoltaic cell includes a second front electrode. The fourth photovoltaic cell includes a second back electrode. Additionally, the photovoltaic module includes a first bus bar and a second bus bar.
