  • Texturing ribbons for photovoltaic module production
    Patent number: 10541344
    Abstract: A method for texturing a photovoltaic module ribbon on a photovoltaic cell including a plurality of first electrodes on a first side and a plurality of second electrodes on a second side, and coupling a first photovoltaic module ribbon to the plurality of first electrodes. The method also includes positioning the photovoltaic cell on a textured base having a texture embodied thereon, where the first photovoltaic module ribbon is substantially contacting the texture. The method further includes coupling a second photovoltaic module ribbon to the plurality of second electrodes, and transferring the texture of the textured base to the first ribbon using heat energy released when the second photovoltaic module ribbon is coupled to the plurality of second electrodes.

  • CONNECTION CELLS FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES
    Publication number: 20190013428
    Abstract: A shingled photovoltaic (PV) cell module is provided. The PV cell module includes a first PV cell string and a first connection cell. The first PV cell string includes a plurality of shingled PV cell segments. Each PV cell segment includes a front electrode and an opposing rear electrode electrically coupled to the front electrode. The front electrode of the PV cell segment is aligned and coupled with the rear electrode of an adjacent PV cell segment of the plurality of PV cell segments to electrically couple the plurality of PV cell segments in series. The first connection cell includes a ribbon electrode and a first electrode electrically coupled to the ribbon electrode and a first PV cell segment. The ribbon electrode is coupled to a conductor adjacent to the first PV cell string to transfer a power output of the PV cell segments.
