  • Method and apparatus for stringing thin film solar cells
    Patent number: 8016007
    Abstract: The present inventions generally relate to thin film solar cell fabrication, and more particularly, to techniques for interconnecting solar cells based on Group IBIIIAVIA thin film semiconductors. In a particular embodiment, a system is described that positions solar cells and conductive leads with respect to each other so that application of a conductive adhesive and formation of an assembled solar cell string, followed by curing and cooling of the conductive adhesive, can occur in a repeatable manner.
    Type: Grant
