  • Publication number: 20240234594
    Abstract: A solar cell includes a semiconductor material having a dielectric layer over a light-receiving surface of the semiconductor material, a plurality of printed fire-through contacts passing substantially through the dielectric layer, each contact extending longitudinally in a first dimension, and a conductive finger extending longitudinally in a second dimension substantially perpendicular to the first dimension and electrically connecting the plurality of contacts to first and second busbars at opposite ends of the conductive finger. The conductive finger has at least one first portion overlaying and electrically connecting to the plurality of contacts, wherein each of the plurality of contacts extends beyond the first portion of the conductive finger at one or both sides of the first portion of the conductive finger in the first dimension, and wherein the first portion of the conductive finger overlays the dielectric.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 10592847
    Abstract: A customer electronic device places a goods order via a computer network including indicating an intended collection location, and in response installs a geo-fence function. The device triggers the geo-fence when proximate to the intended collection location. The computer network receives the trigger message and generates a pre-alert message sent to at least one in-store device, thereby prompting the ordered goods to be made ready for collection by the customer.
