Abstract: A photovoltaic module includes a first protective element, a second protective element, photovoltaic cells that are located between the first protective element and the second protective element, an envelope in which the photovoltaic cells are encapsulated. The envelope links the first protective element to the second protective element and includes a first portion that is located between the photovoltaic cells and the first protective element, and a second portion that is located between the photovoltaic cells and the second protective element. The disassembly method includes separating the photovoltaic cells with respect to the first protective element and cutting the first portion of the envelope by an abrasive wire.

Abstract: Photovoltaic module (11) comprising a plurality of electrically connected photovoltaic cells (12), characterized in that it has a square shape and comprises at least two contact pads (17, 18) in each corner of the module so as to comprise at least four connectors (14, 15) on each edge (21; 22; 23; 24) of the module.

Abstract: An apparatus for restricting the thermo-mechanical stress in semiconductor wafers both during manufacture, and during the operating lifetime of the semiconductor devices and systems formed on the wafer. An electrically conductive track 8 can be formed with a stopper 16 which can be positioned at least at one end of the electrically conductive track 8. The differential expansion during heating of electrically conductive tracks 8 with respect to a semiconductor wafer 4 can be restricted by the stopper 16.
