Interconnect Technologies For Back Contact Solar Cells And Modules

US Patent:
2008021, Sep 11, 2008
Filed:
Dec 23, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/963841
Inventors:
Peter Hacke - Albuquerque NM, US
David H. Meakin - Albuquerque NM, US
James M. Gee - Albuquerque NM, US
Sysavanh Southimath - Albuquerque NM, US
Brian Murphy - Albuquerque NM, US
Assignee:
ADVENT SOLAR, INC. - Albuquerque NM
International Classification:
H01L 31/05
H01L 31/18
US Classification:
136244, 29855, 257E3111
Abstract:
Methods and systems for interconnecting back contact solar cells. The solar cells preferably have reduced area busbars, or are entirely busbarless, and current is extracted from a variety of points on the interior of the cell surface. The interconnects preferably relieve stresses due to solder reflow and other thermal effects. The interconnects may be stamped and include external or internal structures which are bonded to the solder pads on the solar cell. These structures are designed to minimize thermal stresses between the interconnect and the solar cell. The interconnect may alternatively comprise porous metals such as wire mesh, wire cloth, or expanded metal, or corrugated or fingered strips. The interconnects are preferably electrically isolated from the solar cell by an insulator which is deposited on the cell, placed on the cell as a discrete layer, or laminated directly to desired areas of the interconnect.

Photovoltaic Modules Manufactured Using Monolithic Module Assembly Techniques

US Patent:
2010001, Jan 21, 2010
Filed:
Apr 29, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/432706
Inventors:
David H. Meakin - Albuquerque NM, US
James M. Gee - Albuquerque NM, US
Sysavanh Southimath - Albuquerque NM, US
Brian Murphy - Albuquerque NM, US
John Telle - Albuquerque NM, US
Andrew Mark Mitchell - Albuquerque NM, US
Assignee:
Advent Solar, Inc. - Albuquerque NM
International Classification:
H01L 31/048
H01L 31/042
US Classification:
136251, 136244
Abstract:
Photovoltaic modules comprising back-contact solar cells manufactured using monolithic module assembly techniques comprising a flexible circuit comprising a back sheet and a patterned metallization. The module may comprise busses in electrical contact with the patterned metallization to extract the current. The module may alternatively comprise multilevel metallizations. Interlayer dielectric comprising islands or dots relieves stresses due to thermal mismatch. The use of multiple cord plates enables flexible circuit layouts, thus optimizing the module. The modules preferably comprise a thermoplastic encapsulant and/or hybrid adhesive/solder materials. An ultrathin moisture barrier enables roll-to-roll processing.

Integrated Bypass Diode Assemblies For Back Contact Solar Cells And Modules

US Patent:
2010010, May 6, 2010
Filed:
Nov 17, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/620547
Inventors:
JAMES GEE - Albuquerque NM, US
DAVID H. MEAKIN - Albuquerque NM, US
FARES BAGH - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
APPLIED MATERIALS, INC. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H01L 31/042
H01L 31/00
US Classification:
136244, 136252, 136259
Abstract:
The present invention comprises methods for manufacturing solar cell modules having improved fault tolerance and the ability to maximize module power output in response to non-optimal operation of one or more solar cells in the module. To improve the fault tolerance, the individual solar cells may each have a bypass diode coupled thereto to that when a single solar cell faults, only the faulted solar cell is affected. In one embodiment, a transistor may be used to improve the fault tolerance of a solar cell module.

Monolithic Module Assembly Using Back Contact Solar Cells And Metal Ribbon

US Patent:
2011008, Apr 14, 2011
Filed:
Jul 22, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/842022
Inventors:
David H. Meakin - Albuquerque NM, US
Fares Bagh - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Applied Materials, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H01L 31/042
H01L 31/0224
US Classification:
136244, 438 67, 257E31124
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention contemplate the formation of a solar cell module comprising an array of interconnected solar cells that are formed using an automated processing sequence that is used to form a novel solar cell interconnect structure. In one embodiment, the module structure described herein includes a patterned adhesive layer that is disposed on a backsheet to receive and bond a plurality of patterned conducting ribbons thereon. The bonded conducting ribbons are then used to interconnect an array of solar cell devices to form a solar cell module that can be electrically connected to external components that can receive the solar cell module's generated electricity.

Appl. No.:
13/284784
Inventors:
David H. Meakin - Albuquerque NM, US
Fares Bagh - Austin TX, US
James Gee - Albuquerque NM, US
William Bottenberg - Boulder Creek CA, US
Assignee:
APPLIED MATERIALS, INC. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H01L 31/05
H01L 31/048
H01L 31/18
H01L 31/0216
US Classification:
136244, 136256, 156299, 156300, 156250, 156256, 438 66, 257E31119
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention contemplate the formation of a solar cell module comprising an array of interconnected solar cells that are formed using an automated processing sequence that is used to form a novel planar solar cell interconnect structure. In one embodiment, the module structure described herein includes a patterned adhesive layer that is disposed on a backsheet to receive and bond a plurality of conducting ribbons thereon. The substantially planar bonded conducting ribbons are then used to interconnect an array of solar cell devices to form a solar cell module that can be electrically connected to one or more external components, such as an electrical power grid, satellites, electronic devices or other similar power requiring units. Embodiments of the invention may further provide a roll-to-roll system that is configured to serially form a plurality of solar cell modules over different portions of a backsheet material received from a roll of backsheet material.
