20090308454INSULATING COATING, METHODS OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF AND ARTICLES COMPRISING THE SAME - Disclosed herein is an article comprising a metallic substrate; an insulating layer; the insulating layer being disposed on the metallic layer in an expanding thermal plasma; and a semiconductor layer; the semiconductor layer being disposed on the insulating layer. Disclosed herein too is a method comprising disposing an insulating layer on a metallic substrate; the insulating layer being in intimate contact with the metallic layer; wherein the insulating layer is derived from a metal-organic precursor, and wherein insulating layer is deposited in an expanding thermal plasma; and disposing a semiconductor layer on the insulating layer.12-17-2009
20100236607MONOLITHICALLY INTEGRATED SOLAR MODULES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE - A monolithically integrated cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic (PV) module includes a first electrically conductive layer and an insulating layer. The first electrically conductive layer is disposed below the insulating layer. The PV module further includes a back contact metal layer and a CdTe absorber layer. The back contact metal layer is disposed between the insulating layer and the CdTe absorber layer. The PV module further includes a window layer and a second electrically conductive layer. The window layer is disposed between the CdTe absorber layer and the second electrically conductive layer. At least one first trench extends through the back contact metal layer, at least one second trench extends through the absorber and window layers, and at least one third trench extends through the second electrically conductive layer. A method for monolithically integrating CdTe PV cells is also provided.09-23-2010
