  • SPACE SOLAR CELL PANEL WITH BLOCKING DIODES
    Publication number: 20180062011
    Abstract: A solar cell assembly or sub-array for space applications that comprises a string of series connected space qualified solar cells, one of the solar cells being a final solar cell of the string of solar cells. The final solar cell has at least one oblique cut corner. The solar cell assembly further comprises a contact member connected to the final solar cell through a blocking diode, positioned in correspondence with the space provided by the space provided by the oblique cut corner.

  • SOLAR CELL ARRAY HAVING TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF CELLS
    Publication number: 20150194551
    Abstract: A solar cell array includes multiple cells connected to one another in series on a surface. The array includes first and second different types of solar cells. Incorporating two different types of cells can facilitate various layouts of the cells in the array, including compact arrangements. In some implementations, the use of two different types of cells can allow arrangements in which voltage terminals of opposite polarity to be disposed at a sufficiently large distance from one another so as to help reduce the occurrence of ESD.
