Abstract: A method is provided of fabricating a photo voltaic generator panel (15) including a polymer back sheet (24) with at least one attachment feature (21) so as to provide means of attaching the panel to a structural support (25) upon subsequent installation. At least one polymer attachment feature (21) is applied to the outer side of the polymer back sheet of the panel during the manufacturing process for the panel whereby the attachment feature projects with respect to the back sheet. The application may be in conjunction with a lamination process, or subsequent to the lamination process, or as an integral part of the back sheet manufacturing process. The attachment feature is adapted to engage with a corresponding feature (26) or features to be found on a support structure (25) located at a site for the installation of the panel. The said at least one polymer attachment feature and said outer side of the polymer back sheet have a similar thermal expansion coefficient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for contacting a wafer during submersion in a liquid. The device comprises a main body fixed to a transportation device; an electrical contact for contacting the wafer and a pressure element for pressing the electrical contact towards the wafer.

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.
