Abstract:
A flexible solar module has an integral and internal thin metal foil, which is an integral layer of the solar cell stack. The thin metal foil collects and transports photovoltaic (PV) generated electric power from a plurality of regions of the solar module. A single metal foil can mechanically connect, and can collect PV-generated electric power, from multiple such solar cells; and is further coated from beneath by lamination or encapsulation layers. A plurality of solar modules are mounted on top of a support structure or a polymeric support substrate, that has metal wires running integrally therein. The metal wires are arranged in accordance with a pre-defined layout, such that most of the length of each metal wire is concealed and is protected within the support structure or the polymeric support substrate. An ending of each metal wire protrudes from the support structure or the polymeric support substrate, at a particular location that is configured to match an intended location of an electrical terminal of a PV module that is intended to be mounted on top of the support structure or the polymeric support substrate.

Abstract:
A method for producing in a roll-to-roll process modules of thin film photovoltaic cells in a substrate film, the modules including the substrate with a photovoltaic layer inbetween a lower and upper electrode layer, by using an apparatus including a belt conveyor, and scribe and print stations arranged at respective positions along a transport direction of the belt conveyor to create an interconnection structure between the photovoltaic cells including an arrangement of structural elements having one or more conductive and isolating scribe lines and a conductive body connecting adjacent thin film photovoltaic cells. The method includes: creating by the processing stations, the interconnection structure in the moving substrate film; measuring the structural elements and determining parameters of each structural element; based on the parameters establishing a positioning error, associated with a functional defect; based on the error, correcting settings of one or more processing stations and/or the belt conveyor.
