  • Texturing ribbons for photovoltaic module production
    Patent number: 10541344
    Abstract: A method for texturing a photovoltaic module ribbon on a photovoltaic cell including a plurality of first electrodes on a first side and a plurality of second electrodes on a second side, and coupling a first photovoltaic module ribbon to the plurality of first electrodes. The method also includes positioning the photovoltaic cell on a textured base having a texture embodied thereon, where the first photovoltaic module ribbon is substantially contacting the texture. The method further includes coupling a second photovoltaic module ribbon to the plurality of second electrodes, and transferring the texture of the textured base to the first ribbon using heat energy released when the second photovoltaic module ribbon is coupled to the plurality of second electrodes.

  • PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES INCLUDING EXTERNAL BYPASS DIODES
    Publication number: 20160118935
    Abstract: A photovoltaic (PV) module includes a laminate, a frame, a junction box, and an electronic assembly. The laminate includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and a plurality of PV cells disposed between the top surface and the bottom surface. The frame circumscribes at least a portion of the laminate. The junction box is attached adjacent to the bottom surface of the laminate and electrically coupled to the plurality of PV cells. The electronic assembly is attached adjacent to the bottom surface of the laminate and external of the junction box. The electronic assembly includes a bypass diode electrically coupled to at least one PV cell of the plurality of PV cells.
