Patent number: 9553218Abstract: A high transmittance thin film solar panel includes a transparent substrate, a front electrode layer, a light absorption layer and a rear electrode layer. The light absorption layer is formed with opening patterns with the same width at positions aligned correspondingly to form at least one first opening trench, a plurality of second opening trenches with continuously and periodically sinusoidal-wave shape, and a plurality of third opening trenches parallel to, interlace with or superpose the second opening trenches, and extend in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the first opening trench. The high transmittance thin film solar panel of the present invention is mainly used for green buildings. The opening trenches of the high transmittance thin film solar panel are formed in a manner of curve shape by an oscillating laser head, and can enhance the transmittance by more than about 3% in comparison with the conventional one.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2014Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: NEXPOWER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Chih-Jen Mao, Jia-Shian Lin, Sheng-Jui Lee, Chi-Shan Huang, Chih-Wei Chang

Patent number: 8355232Abstract: The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a solar module with a bimetal breaker, which comprises a solar module with terminal ribbons deposited on both sides of the solar module and inter-connecting ribbons extended and connected to the terminal ribbons, and a bimetal breaker being deposited on a joint of the terminal ribbon and the inter-connecting ribbon of the solar module. The bimetal breaker comprises a bimetal unit that is composed of two metal layers, and when the bimetal unit is heated, the bimetal unit will bend because of different thermal expansion coefficients and push the conducting terminals to separate from each other, so as to prevent the solar module from being damaged due to high temperature.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2011Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Nexpower Technology CorporationInventor: Kai Wu
