PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE COMPRISING EXTERNAL CONNECTOR PINS

摘要

The photovoltaic module comprises a number of photovoltaic cells (2), arranged between substrates (3, 4) and connected in series by connecting conductors (5). An external connector pin (13) for the module comprises a block of insulating material (15) glued to one end of the module. An external connector for the pin (13) is connected to at least one connector (11) connected electrically to the connecting conductor (5) associated with a cell arranged at the end of the module. The contact between the connector (11) and the connecting conductor (5), associated with a cell arranged at the end of the module, is provided by pressure generated by deformation, either of a free end of the connecting conductor (5) or an internal end of the corresponding connector (11).
