  • Manufacturing method for solar cell arrangements
    Patent number: 6353176
    Abstract: In a manufacturing method of a solar cell arrangement, a p-n junction is formed in semiconductor material which is then separated to give a main body and an off-cut. The off-cut is connected in reverse parallel across the main body so as to act as a protection diode for a solar cell which comprises that main body. The off-cut protection diode may be placed adjacent the main body or may alternatively be mounted on the front or rear of the solar cell.
