| 20120013191 | PHOTOVOLTAIC UNIT WITH ENERGY RECOVERY AND PHOTOLTAIC ASSEMBLY COMPRISING SUCH A UNIT - The invention relates to a photovoltaic unit ( | 01-19-2012 |
| 20110192443 | Electrical Connection and Support Assembly for a Photovoltaic Cell Having Rear Contacts, A Photovoltaic Module Including Such an Assembly, and a method of Fabricating Such a Module - This electrical connection assembly is used for a photovoltaic cell ( | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110030793 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING PHOTOVOLTAIC-GRADE CRYSTALLINE SILICON BY ADDITION OF DOPING IMPURITIES AND PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL - Production of photovoltaic grade crystalline silicon is achieved by crystallization of a molten silicon feedstock, the sum of the initial donor doping element and acceptor doping element concentrations whereof is greater than 0.1 ppma, and both the acceptor and donor doping element concentrations whereof are less than 25 ppma. At least a predefined quantity of a doping material having a segregation coefficient of less than 0.1 is added to the feedstock. This addition enables a crystallized silicon to be produced the difference between the donor and acceptor doping profiles whereof is comprised between 0.1 and 5 ppma over at least 50% of the solidified silicon. A silicon presenting a concentration of at least one of the dopants is greater than or equal to 5 ppma and a difference less than or equal to 5 ppma between these two types of dopant is integrated in a photovoltaic cell. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20100126560 | PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE COMPRISING A POLYMER FILM AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING SUCH A MODULE - A photovoltaic module comprising front and back plates each comprising inner and outer faces, a plurality of photovoltaic cells arranged side by side between the front and back plates and each comprising an antireflection layer, and a peripheral seal arranged between the front and back plates around the photovoltaic cells. The part of the inner face of the front plate delineated by the seal is coated with a polymer film presenting a refractive index comprised between that of the front plate and that of the antireflection layers of the photovoltaic cells, said film being in contact with the photovoltaic cells. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100089310 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SELF-SUSTAINED PLATES OF SILICON OR OTHER CRYSTALLINE MATERIALS - The device for producing a sheet of crystalline material by directional solidification of a material in liquid phase composed of a crucible provided with a bottom, side walls and at least one horizontal outlet slot arranged on a bottom part of a side wall. On its external surface in immediate proximity to the slot, the crucible presents electromagnetic means for creating magnetic repulsion forces on the material in liquid phase, at least at the level of the slot. An alternating current with a frequency comprised between 10 kHz and 300 kHz flows through the electromagnetic means. To foster stirring of the material in liquid phase, a low frequency can be used in addition to the above frequencies. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100083895 | Device and Process for Producing a Block of Crystalline Material - A temperature gradient is established in a crystallization crucible by means of a heat source and a cooling system. The cooling system comprises a heat exchanger and an adjustable additional heat source. The cooling system is preferably formed by an induction coil cooled by a coolant liquid circulating in the induction coil and by an electrically conductive induction susceptor positioned between the crucible and induction coil. The fabrication process comprises heating the crucible via the top and controlling heat extraction from the crucible downwards by means of the heat exchanger and by means of regulation of the adjustable additional heat source. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20090139445 | Device for Fabricating a Ribbon of Silicon or Other Crystalline Materials and Method of Fabrication - The device comprises a crucible ( | 06-04-2009 |
| 20080257401 | Photovoltaic module and method for production thereof - The photovoltaic module comprises front and rear plates. An organic seal is arranged between the plates and delineates a tight internal volume, kept at a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure, wherein the photovoltaic cells are arranged. The seal is an organic seal, for example of thermoplastic nature, for example of the polybutylene family. The production method comprises formation of a negative pressure by suction. The method can comprise sweeping by neutral gases, establishment of the negative pressure and sealing by compression. The method can also comprise partial sealing of the module so as to leave two openings in the seal, sweeping of the internal volume by neutral gases by means of the two openings, establishment of the negative pressure and closing of the openings. | 10-23-2008 |
