  • Flexible solar array
    Patent number: 10276736
    Abstract: A flexible solar array for a spacecraft or aviation craft including a flexible backing substrate with conductive trace(s) formed thereon; solar cell subassemblies disposed over the flexible backing substrate, each of the solar cell subassemblies at least including a solar cell; and an adhesive layer interposed between the solar cell subassemblies and the flexible backing substrate, with the solar cell attached to the flexible backing substrate. The adhesive layer includes openings for exposing the corresponding conductive traces so that the exposed metal traces are adaptable to interconnect the solar cells of the respective adjacent solar cell subassemblies through the openings.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 30, 2019
    Assignee: SolAero Technologies Corp.
    Inventors: Benjamin Cho, Dwight Hazlett, Cory Tourino, Brian Guzie
  • Flexible solar array and method for fabricating the same
    Patent number: 10164136
    Abstract: A flexible solar array and a method for fabricating the same is provided. The flexible solar array may include a flexible backing substrate with conductive trace(s) formed thereon; solar cell subassemblies over the flexible backing substrate, each of the solar cell subassemblies at least including a solar cell; and an adhesive layer interposed between the solar cell subassemblies and the flexible backing substrate, and attaching the solar cells to the flexible backing substrate. The adhesive layer includes openings for exposing the corresponding conductive traces so that the exposed metal traces are adaptable to interconnect the solar cells of the respective adjacent solar cell subassemblies through the openings.
