  • New Materials For Solar Cell Connectors
    Publication number: 20190267504
    Abstract: A method for producing a metal foil composed of an aluminium-magnesium alloy which includes scandium and zirconium, and also the metal foil produced accordingly are described. With such a foil it is possible, for example, to produce connectors for solar cells, which may be employed in particular in aerospace, for example in satellites.

  • Solar cell interconnector and manufacturing method thereof
    Patent number: 10199522
    Abstract: A high electrical conductive, high temperature stable foil material, a process for the preparation of such a high electrical conductive, high temperature stable foil material, a solar cell interconnector including the high electrical conductive, high temperature stable foil material as well as the use of the high electrical conductive, high temperature stable foil material and/or the solar cell interconnector in solar power, aircraft or space applications. The high electrical conductive, high temperature stable foil material includes an aluminum alloy that has at least two elements selected from the group of scandium (Sc), magnesium (Mg), zirconium (Zr), ytterbium (Yb) and manganese (Mn).
