FLEXIBLE, MODULAR, SOLAR CELL ASSEMBLY

摘要

A solar module having a six layer stack structure, including the following layers: (i) first plastic layer (e.g., ETFE layer); (ii) second plastic layer (e.g., uppermost EVA layer); (iii) solar cell layer; (iv) third plastic layer (e.g., intermediate EVA layer); (v) fiber panel; and (vi) fourth plastic layer (e.g., lowermost EVA layer). This six layer module is detachably attached to a seventh layer of rip stop backing material layer (or other pliable fabric). Generally, many solar modules will be: (i) mechanically detachably attached to the larger flexible substrate member; and (ii) electrically detachably connected to each other. Sufficient space should be left between the modules on the substrate so that the substrate can be folded in the spaces between the modules.
