TEXTURING RIBBONS FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE PRODUCTION

摘要

A method for texturing a photovoltaic module ribbon on a photovoltaic cell including a plurality of first electrodes on a first side and a plurality of second electrodes on a second side, and coupling a first photovoltaic module ribbon to the plurality of first electrodes. The method also includes positioning the photovoltaic cell on a textured base having a texture embodied thereon, where the first photovoltaic module ribbon is substantially contacting the texture. The method further includes coupling a second photovoltaic module ribbon to the plurality of second electrodes, and transferring the texture of the textured base to the first ribbon using heat energy released when the second photovoltaic module ribbon is coupled to the plurality of second electrodes.
