    摘要: In an example, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a solar module. The method includes providing a substrate member having a surface region, the surface region comprising a spatial region, a first end strip comprising a first edge region and a first interior region, the first interior region comprising a first bus bar, a plurality of strips, a second end strip comprising a second edge region and a second interior region, the second edge region comprising a second bus bar, the first end strip, the plurality of strips, and the second end strip arranged in parallel to each other and occupying the spatial region such that the first end strip, the second end strip, and the plurality of strips consists of a total number of five (5) strips. The method includes separating each of the plurality of strips, arranging the plurality of strips in a string configuration, and using the string in the solar module.

    摘要: In an example, a solar module apparatus is provided. The module has an equivalent diode device configured between the first end termination and the second end termination such that one of the plurality of photovoltaic strips associated with one of the plurality of strings when shaded causes the plurality of strips (“Shaded Strips”) associated with the one of the strings to cease generating electrical current from application of electromagnetic radiation, while a remaining plurality of strips, associated with the remaining plurality of strings, each of which generates a current that is substantially equivalent as an electrical current while the Shaded Strips are not shaded.

    摘要: A semiconductor module comprises a string made up of a plurality of cells or strips arranged in series. A front surface of at least one cell or strip, has a polarity opposite to that of the front surface of another cell or strip in the string. In some embodiments the strips may comprise photovoltaic devices of different structures, for example Heterojunction (HJT) and Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon). According to certain embodiments, one or more cells or strips of the string may be arranged in an overlapping shingled configuration, such that a front surface of the overlapped strip exhibits the appropriate polarity. For particular embodiments, one or more cells or strips may be adjacent in the string, such that a cell or strip has a front or back surface of polarity appropriate to connect with the adjacent cell or strip (e.g., using a ribbon located on a same surface).

    摘要: In an example, the present invention provides a method of separating a photovoltaic strip from a solar cell. The method includes providing a solar cell, placing the front side of the solar cell on a platen such that the backside is facing a laser source, initiating a laser source to output a laser beam having a wavelength from 200 to 600 nanometers and a spot size of 18 to 30 microns, subjecting a portion of the backside to the laser beam at a power level ranging from about 20 Watts to about 35 Watts to cause an ablation to form a scribe region having a depth, width, and a length, the depth being from 40% to 60% of a thickness of the solar cell, the width being between 16 and 35 microns to create a plurality of scribe regions spatially disposed on the backside of the solar cell.
