  • Patent number: 11018624
    Abstract: A photovoltaic assembly comprising: (a) at least two photovoltaic components that are adjacent to each other, each photovoltaic component comprising: (i) a partial connector channel in communication with a partial connector channel in an adjacent photovoltaic component and (ii) one or more connector receptors; (b) a connector located at least partially in the partial connector channel of the photovoltaic component and at least partially in the partial connector channel of the adjacent photovoltaic component so that the connector connects the photovoltaic component to the adjacent photovoltaic component, the connector comprising: a housing having: (1) a top housing and (2) a bottom housing, wherein the top housing and the bottom housing each include a first end and a second end; one or more flexible electrical conductors that extend from the first end to the second end; wherein the top housing and the bottom housing each include one or more mechanical flexing regions that allow the housing to mechanically flex

  • Publication number: 20150325731
    Abstract: The invention relates to a photovoltaic article comprising a plurality of photovoltaic cells having first (22) and second (24) electrical connector segments in contact with the top side (18) of a first cell (10) and the backside (16) of a second adjacent cell (12). The materials used to form the electrical connector segments are selected to minimize corrosion, maximize contact area, and lower contact resistance over the lifetime of the article.
