  • Publication number: 20240056023
    Abstract: A half-cell assembly includes an integrated junction box and multiple cell string sets connected in series sequentially. Each cell string set includes multiple cell strings connected in parallel, and each cell string includes multiple half-cells connected in series sequentially. The multiple cell string sets are arranged along a first preset direction. In each cell string set, the multiple cell strings are arranged along the first preset direction. In each cell string, the multiple half-cells are arranged along a second preset direction. One of the first preset direction and the second preset direction is the long side direction of the half-cell, and the other is the short side direction of the half-cell. The integrated junction box and the multiple cell string sets are arranged along the second preset direction. The multiple cell string sets are connected in parallel with diodes of the integrated junction box.

  • Patent number: 10629761
    Abstract: An internal protection circuit structure of a photovoltaic module, which includes a plurality of solar cells including a first column, a second column, a third column, a fourth column, a fifth column, and a sixth column sequentially. Positive and negative electrodes of each column of the solar cells are sequentially connected in series to form a substring of the solar cell. The upper ends of the second column and the third column are connected to each other with a first diode connected in series to be pulled out as an outgoing terminal. The present invention uses a manner in which substrings are connected first in series and later in parallel, with four bypass diodes connected in the circuit. As such, the actual utilization ratio of the solar cell is improved.
