PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE WITH IMPROVED BACKPLANE

摘要

Solar cell modules and mounting methods are disclosed. A solar cell module includes one or more photovoltaic (PV) cells arranged in a substantially planar fashion. Each PV cell has a front side and a back side. The PV cells are adapted to produce an electric voltage when light is incident upon the front side. A backplane may be attached to the PV cells such that the backplane provides structural support from the back side. The backplane may include a structural component having a plurality of voids. Optionally, the backplane comprises of a thermally conductive material.
