  • Power supply system
    Patent number: 8310094
    Abstract: A power supply system capable of smoothing photovoltaic generation output, and enabling time shift is provided. A power supply system including a DC power supply string in which a storage battery is connected in parallel to a DC power supply; and a DC/AC power conversion device for connecting the DC power supply string to a power system or a load is provided. A switch is connected between the DC power supply and the storage battery, where an output power of the DC power supply or a combined output power of the DC power supply and the storage battery is switched and supplied to the DC/AC power conversion device by the switch. The photovoltaic generation output is thereby smoothed, and time shift is enabled.

  • Solar battery sealing film and method of manufacturing solar battery panel using the same
    Publication number: 20030098060
    Abstract: On a main surface of a solar battery sealing film formed of a transparent soft resin film including a linking agent for adhering and sealing the solar battery cells, a plurality of channels having the depth of at least 100 &mgr;m and reaching an end surface are formed by embossing. Thus, the time for manufacturing the solar battery panel can be reduced and, at the same time, generation of voids can be prevented.
