    摘要: The present invention provides module structures and methods of manufacturing rigid or flexible photovoltaic modules employing thin film solar cells fabricated on flexible substrates, preferably on flexible metallic foil substrates. The solar cells may be Group IBIIIAVIA compound solar cells or amorphous silicon solar cells fabricated on thin stainless steel or aluminum alloy foils. In one embodiment, initially a solar cell string including two or more solar cells is formed by interconnecting the solar cells with conductive leads or ribbons. At least one bypass diode electrically connects conductive back surfaces of at least two solar cells. The bypass diode and the solar cells are encapsulated with support material and are packed with the protective shell such that the at least one bypass diode is placed between at least one solar cell and the bottom protective sheet. The bypass diode is thermally connected to the back conductive surface of one of the solar cells so that the back conductive surface of the solar cell functions as a heat sink.

    摘要: A method of forming metallic connector patterns for solar cells, whereby an embosser having raised features shaped in the form of a metallic connector pattern is used to attach a portion of a metallic foil to a transparent conductive layer formed on a top transparent surface of a solar cell structure. The raised surfaces of the embosser press the metallic foil portion against the transparent conductive layer. Heat and pressure directed to the metallic foil portion attach the metallic foil portion to the underlying transparent conductive layer, and then the rest of the metallic foil, which is not attached to the transparent conductive layer, is removed.

    摘要: A method of deposition of a transparent conductive film from a metallic target is presented. A method of forming a transparent conductive oxide film according to embodiments of the present invention include depositing the transparent conductive oxide film in a pulsed DC reactive ion process with substrate bias, and controlling at least one process parameter to affect at least one characteristic of the conductive oxide film. The resulting transparent oxide film, which in some embodiments can be an indium-tin oxide film, can exhibit a wide range of material properties depending on variations in process parameters. For example, varying the process parameters can result in a film with a wide range of resistive properties and surface smoothness of the film.

    摘要: In accordance with one approach to the invention, elements and sub-elements of a conductive pattern on or in an optical member are designed and arranged to be predominantly or exclusively curved, so as to control the appearance of ray-like disturbances during nighttime point-source viewing situations. In another approach, the sub-elements of the conductive pattern are designed and arranged so as to be a large number of short, linear or curved elements oriented with a large angular distribution.
