  • Publication number: 20090266579
    Abstract: The present invention provides a solar module with inter-connectors with improved flexibility. The flexibility is achieved by placing a fabric between the solar elements. The fabric is conductive and may be soldered or welded to the solar elements.

  • Publication number: 20090117713
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for reducing attraction forces between wafers (4). This method is characterized in that it comprises the step of, after sawing and before dissolution of the adhesive (5), introducing spacers (6) between wafers (4). The invention comprises also a wafer singulation method and an agent for use in said methods.

  • Publication number: 20090056800
    Abstract: The surface recombination velocity of a silicon sample is reduced by deposition of a thin hydrogenated amorphous silicon or hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide film, followed by deposition of a thin hydrogenated silicon nitride film. The surface recombination velocity is further decreased by a subsequent anneal. Silicon solar cell structures using this new method for efficient reduction of the surface recombination velocity is claimed.

  • Publication number: 20080160648
    Abstract: The invention regards a method and a system for establishing correspondence between wafers and solar cells produced from said wafers. The method comprises for each wafer and each solar cell, providing an image of the wafer, providing an image of the cell, comparing the wafer image to the cell image, upon match between a cell image and a wafer image, assigning the current cell to the current wafer. The system comprises at least one imaging device for providing images of the wafers and the cells, a processing unit for comparing a wafer image to a cell image, and upon match between a cell image and a wafer image, assigning the current cell to the current wafer, and a memory unit.
