  • Solar cell interconnect with multiple current paths
    Patent number: 9691924
    Abstract: Solar cell interconnects with multiple current paths. A solar cell interconnect may include a plurality of in-plane slits arranged in several rows. The in-plane slits may be spaced to provide strain relief without unduly increasing the electrical path resistance through the solar cell interconnect. The in-plane slits may be staggered, for example.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 7, 2012
    Date of Patent: June 27, 2017
    Assignee: SunPower Corporation
    Inventors: Douglas H. Rose, Shandor G. Daroczi, Neil Kaminar

  • Interconnection of solar cells in a solar cell module
    Patent number: 7390961
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a solar cell module comprises a plurality of solar cells interconnected as a solar cell array. An interconnect assembly electrically connects the backsides of two adjacent solar cells. The interconnect assembly may have an interconnect that electrically connects a contact point on a backside of a solar cell to a contact point on a backside of another solar cell. The interconnect assembly may further include an interconnect shield placed between the solar cells and the interconnect.

  • Interconnect structure for solar cells and method of making same
    Patent number: 6313395
    Abstract: An interconnect structure for use with solar cells and like devices which are subject to compressive and/or expansive forces through packaging or in application comprises a flattened spiral of a metal strip. The interconnect is fabricated by first providing a length of metal strip, wrapping the metal strip around a cylindrical or flat mandrel or otherwise folded in a helical pattern, removing the mandrel, and then flattening the metal strip to reduce thickness of the interconnect.
