    摘要: A method of forming a solar module. The method includes etching a solar cell, singulating the cell to form strips, and depositing a conductive adhesive on at least one portion of the singulated strips. The strips are then arranged with the conductive adhesive in a shingled manner to form strings of strips such that a portion of each strip overlaps with a portion of the next with the conductive adhesive forming a bond between adjacent strips. A plurality of strings are then connected electrically in parallel to form a set of strings, and a plurality of sets of strings are connected electrically in series. The sets of strings are encapsulated between a front glass and a backsheet and mounted in a frame to form a solar module.

    摘要: The present disclosure describes a method of forming a solar sub-assembly including etching a solar cell, singulating the solar cell to form a plurality of strips, each strip including at least a bus bar, screen printing electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) onto at least one edge of the singulated strips of the solar cell, and shingling the singulated strips such that the ECA bonds one of the plurality of strips to another to form a string.

    摘要: A solar cell is provided including a substrate having a front and back side, a metallization pattern deposited on the front side, the metallization pattern including a plurality of front side bus bars each including fingers extending therefrom, and a plurality of back side bus bars deposited on the back side. On the front side, one front side bus bar is formed along an edge of the front side of the substrate, and a remainder of the front side bus bars are unequally spaced across the substrate. On the back side of the substrate, only one back side bus bar is formed along an edge of the back side of the substrate, and a remainder of the back side bus bars are unequally spaced across the substrate.
