Patents Assigned to Concentrix Solar GmbH
  • Solar cell chips with new geometry and method for manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 9059365
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing solar cell chips having an active surface area configured to directly convert solar energy into electrical energy. The method including cutting the solar cell chips out of a wafer using a laser such that the solar cell chips include a non-rectangular geometry. The non-rectangular geometry facilitate continuous cutting by the laser and maximizing a number of solar cell chips cut from the wafer.

  • Drying apparatus and drying method for solar modules
    Patent number: 9054263
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method of drying the interior of solar modules. The apparatus and the method are particularly suitable for use with concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules. The drying apparatus comprises an absorber for drying and a heating device for heating a gas flowing therethrough and is connected to a solar cell via a connection, so that the dried gas is conducted into the solar cell.
