Zulima Rhodes has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Two-part screen printing for solar collection grid
    Patent number: 9419171
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to providing a collection grid suitable for use in PV modules. The disclosed collection grid may be at least partially applied to a protective laminate sheet in a manner that removes the high temperature requirements of conventional screen printed collection grids, to avoid unwanted heat-related deformation of the laminate sheet.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 8, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 16, 2016
    Assignee: Hanergy Hi-Tech Power (HK) Limited
    Inventors: Zulima Rhodes, Darren Verebelyi
  • Integrated thin film solar cell interconnection
    Patent number: 9385255
    Abstract: Photovoltaic modules may include multiple flexible thin film photovoltaic cells electrically connected in series, and laminated to a substantially transparent top sheet having a conductive grid pattern facing the cells. Methods of manufacturing photovoltaic modules including integrated multi-cell interconnections are provided. Methods may include steps of coordinating, integrating, and registering multiple rolls of substrates in continuous processes.
