20120024373 | SOLAR CELL MODULE AND METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE THEREOF - The invention pertains to a solar cell module comprising a solar cell and an encapsulant, wherein the solar cell module has a current connection area which is connected through an electroconductive connection with an external current carrier, wherein the electroconductive connection is provided with a housing which is bonded to the encapsulant via a laser-welded bond. It has been found that bonding the housing to the encapsulant layer through a laser welded bond makes for a bond which is strong and has good insulating properties. | 02-02-2012 |
20110011457 | SOLAR CELL SYSTEM WITH ENCAPSULANT - The present invention is directed to a solar cell system comprising a solar cell on the light-receiving side of which a transparent encapsulant foil is present which comprises a reinforcing layer and two barrier layers, wherein the first, barrier layer is positioned above the reinforcing layer and the second barrier is positioned below the reinforcing layer, determined from the light-receiving side of the solar cell system, wherein the reinforcing layer comprises a fibre-reinforced layer which comprises fibres with an average length of at least 2 cm. The encapsulant foil itself, a process for manufacture thereof, and a process for manufacturing the solar cell system are also claimed. | 01-20-2011 |
20100252089 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING A SERIES CONNECTION IN A SOLAR CELL SYSTEM - A process for providing a series connection in a solar cell system including the provision of a solar cell system comprising a transparent conductive oxide layer, a photovoltaic layer, and a back electrode, wherein the system is divided into at least two individual cells wherein the transparent conductive oxide layer of one cell is connected through a conductive interconnect with the back electrode of an adjacent cell, and the transparent conductive oxide layer is provided with an insulating interrupt on one side of the interconnect and the back electrode is provided with an interrupt on the other side of the interconnect, the process being characterised in that the interrupt in the transparent conductive oxide layer is provided through vitrification of the transparent conductive oxide layer. A solar cell system provided with a series connection wherein the interrupt in the TCO layer is made up of a vitrified section of the TCO is also claimed. | 10-07-2010 |
20100089432 | PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE COMPRISING LAYER WITH CONDUCTING SPOTS - The invention pertains to a photovoltaic (PV) module comprising a plurality of cells, each cell containing a substrate, a transparent conductor layer, a photovoltaic layer, and a back-electrode layer, wherein the photovoltaic layer comprises at least one p-i-n or n-i-p silicon layer, characterized in that said silicon layer comprises 10 to 1000 conducting spots of recrystallized silicon per cm | 04-15-2010 |
20100087026 | METHOD FOR MAKING SOLAR SUB-CELLS FROM A SOLAR CELL - The invention pertains to a method for making a solar cell module comprising solar cells connected in series, comprising the steps of: a) making in a system composed of a substrate-overlaid by a first electrode layer, itself overlaid by an active layer, a first, interruption, groove providing an interrupt in the front electrode and the active layer and a second, interconnection, groove through the active layer, the first and second grooves being positioned close to each other; b) inserting an insulating compound into the interruption groove; c) applying a lift-off compound onto the active layer at a position adjacent to the interconnection groove on the other side of the interconnection groove than the insulation groove; d) applying the second electrode; e) removing the lift-off compound and the overlaying second electrode at that position to obtain a groove in the second electrode. | 04-08-2010 |
