  • Patent number: 8139335
    Abstract: A protective circuit for electrical connection to solar cells of a solar cell module is provided with a protective circuit that has a controlled electronic circuit arrangement. In this way, only minimal heating of the protective circuit for electrical connection of solar cells of a solar cell module occurs in operation. The controlled electronic circuit arrangement can have a trigger circuit and a switching arrangement which can be triggered by the trigger circuit, the switching arrangement being connected parallel to at least one solar cell, and in the case of shading of the solar cells, is at least temporarily activated by the trigger circuit so that a current bypass for the shaded solar cell is achieved.

  • Patent number: 7737355
    Abstract: An electrical junction and joint box for a solar cell module having solar cells and an associated method. The junction and joint box and solar cell module are connected by conductor strips. The junction and joint box includes a housing having electrical and/or electronic means and a connection device located in the housing. The connection device is arranged to directly, without manual alteration, receive thin conductor strips routed out of the solar cell module from underneath when the junction and joint box is seated on the solar cell module. In this way reliable and efficient connection of the individual solar cells of the solar cell module can be easily achieved, and faulty contact-making can be avoided.

  • Patent number: 7530837
    Abstract: An electrical junction box for a solar cell module of solar cells which are connected with thin conductor strips, with a housing and electrical and/or electronic devices provided in the housing, and at least one electrical connection device (1) which has at least one terminal (3) and which is provided in the housing. The clamping mechanism (3) for producing clamping contact is made and arranged such that at least one thin conductor strip (5) routed out of the solar cell module can be inserted into the clamping mechanism in two different opposing entry directions. Thus, simple and reliable connection of thin conductor strips (5) routed out of the solar cell module can be guaranteed.
