  • Large area, fault tolerant solar energy converter
    Patent number: 4407320
    Abstract: Semiconductor spheres are arranged within a plastic sheet, and laminated between two metal foil layers to make electrical contacts. A portion of each sphere is exposed on one side to allow light entry. The back ohmic contact has a spreading resistance which protects large array configurations from short circuits. Series interconnections of cells, for higher voltage, can be made in the same processing sequence, and are coplanar with the array. All manufacturing steps are completed at temperatures less than 400.degree. C.
