  • Protected interconnects for low stress solar cell shingling and improved aesthetics
    Patent number: 12283641
    Abstract: A string of shingled solar cells is disclosed. The string of shingled solar cells has flexible joints connecting the solar cells made from cured liquid polymeric adhesive. An electrically conductive interconnect passes through the flexible joint. The string of shingled solar cells also has interconnect reinforcements made from cured liquid polymeric adhesive to improve interconnect adhesion to the front surface of the solar cells.

  • PV LAMINATE WITH SHINGLED PV CELLS AND METHODS OF ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20240372024
    Abstract: A PV laminate and methods of assembly are provided. The PV cells of exemplary PV laminates may comprise a shingled linear array of PV cells where one or more spacers are employed near the connections between adjacent PV cells of the linear array. These spacers can serve to reduce stresses during assembly of the PV laminate and may be later substantially subsumed in encapsulant once assembly of the PV laminate is completed.

  • RIBBONS FOR USE IN SHINGLED SOLAR CELLS
    Publication number: 20240282876
    Abstract: A string of solar cells is disclosed. The sides of the solar cells have a corrugated shape which forms an opening when the solar cells are arranged in a shingled manner. The solar cells are electrically connected in series by a ribbon that passes through the opening. A wire mesh used to decrease solar cell resistance is also disclosed.
