| 20110126876 | Light-transmission thin film solar module and a process thereof - This invention discloses a light-transmission thin film solar module and a process thereof. A light-transmission area is formed by using a mask-assisted sandblasting etching process comprising: positioning a mask to cover the back electrode of the thin film solar module; and performing a sandblasting etching process to the mask to form the light-transmission area of the thin film solar module. The light-transmission thin film solar module manufactured by using the process of this invention can include a light-transmission area of any pattern at a lower cost and in a large scale production. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110008928 | Method for etching a see-through thin film solar module - This invention discloses a method for etching a see-through thin film solar module, comprising: printing ink paste which resists the etching of etching solutions in the protected area of the thin film solar module which is placed under a screen; drying and solidifying the ink paste; coating etching solutions on the thin film solar module; and removing the ink paste. The method of this invention can accurately position the see-through area, achieve various selections of see-through patterns, facilitate the realization of the see-through function in large-area thin film solar modules, and alleviate the problem that a short circuit easily occurs in a see-through thin film solar module. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20100294348 | Thin film solar module - This invention discloses a thin film solar module of see-through structure comprising a solar cell segment and a light-transmitting region, wherein the solar cell segment comprises an insulating transparent substrate, a first electrode layer, a semiconductor layer and a second electrode layer that are sequentially deposited on the insulating transparent substrate, namely, the solar cell segment comprises a plurality of photo-electric conversion units connected in serial; and wherein the light-transmitting region comprises a plurality of light-transmitting square holes that are formed by partly removing the second electrode layer and the semiconductor layer in the solar cell segment. The see-through thin film solar module of this invention, besides ensuring the light-transmitting required for curtain walls of architectures, can improve the uneven distribution of energy when circular light-transmitting holes are formed using laser and solve the problem that a short circuit can easily occur in a see-through thin film solar module, thereby enhancing its power generation performance. | 11-25-2010 |
