摘要:
Two or more solar cells are shingled together. At least one solar cell has a contact formed on a first surface that is electrically connected to the conductive terminal of the solar cell. A substrate of a second cell is physically and electrically coupled to the contact. An insulator is interposed between the substrate of the second cell and the first cell to inhibit short circuits therebetween.

A system and method of manufacturing solar panels whereby parameters about how each cell, each array and each panel are recorded in a database or electronic memory. The cells, arrays and panels are also provided an identification, such as a bar code, to allow for subsequent retrieval of the parameters. The electronic memory is arranged so that different cells, arrays and panels that share the same parameters can be identified.

A flexible solar cell assembly having solar cells that are positioned within a sealed module chamber. A sealed wiring chamber is positioned on an end of the sealed module chamber and is interposed between the sealed module chamber and a junction box. Wiring interconnecting the junction box to the solar cells in the sealed module chamber is routed through the sealed wiring chamber to inhibit water entry into the sealed module chamber via the wiring.

Described is a continuous electroless deposition method and a system to form a solar cell buffer layer with a varying composition through its thickness are provided. The composition of the buffer layer is varied by varying the composition of a chemical bath deposition solution applied onto an absorber surface on which the buffer layer with varying composition is formed. In one example, the buffer layer with varying composition includes a first section containing CdS, a second section containing CdZnS formed on top of the already deposited CdS, and a third section containing ZnS is formed on the second section All the process steps are applied in a roll-to-roll fashion. In another example, a transparent conductive layer including a first transparent conductive film such as aluminum doped zinc oxide and a second transparent conductive film such as indium tin oxide is deposited over the buffer layer with the varying composition.

A solar cell including a high electrical resistivity transparent layer formed on a CdS buffer layer is provided. The high electrical resistivity transparent layer includes an intrinsic oxide film formed on the buffer layer and an intermediate oxide film formed on the intrinsic oxide film. The intrinsic oxide film includes undoped zinc oxide and has a thickness range of 10 to 40 nm. The intermediate oxide film includes semi-intrinsic zinc oxide doped with aluminum and has a thickness range of 50-150 nm. The intermediate oxide film has an aluminum concentration of less than 1000 ppm.
