  • Solar module with optimized interconnection and method of manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 12615852
    Abstract: A solar module and a method of manufacturing the same. The solar module has a plurality of solar cell arrays, a cross-connector and an encapsulation. Each of the solar cell arrays includes solar cell substrates with contact structures and an interconnection structure that includes a plurality of round or rounded wires. Some of the wires have a flatter cross-section in a flattened region than the same wires in a non-flattened region adjacent to the flattened region and/or than other wires. The flattened region is located at and/or near an edge of a terminal solar cell substrate adjacent to a portion of the contacting surface of a rear side of the solar cell substrate. At least two strings of solar cell arrays are arranged side by side and interconnected by means of the cross-connector.
