  • Cross-tied photovoltaic array
    Patent number: 11869998
    Abstract: Strings of interconnected PV cells within a PV laminate or module are themselves connected by one or more cross-ties. These cross-tied strings can be oriented in a straight or serpentine fashion and spacings between adjacent strings may differ depending upon whether a cross-tie connection is present or not. The PV cells may be multi-diode PV cells having a shared substrate. PV cells connected by a cross-tie are connected in parallel and have a shared voltage potential.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: January 9, 2024
    Assignee: MAXEON SOLAR PTE. LTD.
    Inventors: Tamir Lance, Hoi Hong Ng, David Okawa, Adam Rothschild Hoffman
  • Composite masking between solar cells
    Patent number: 11532761
    Abstract: Composite making regions are provided. These masking regions can include layers or other areas of different transparency where a first region has a first transparency and a second region has a different transparency. Masking regions can be positioned between adjacent photovoltaic cells of photovoltaic arrays.
