    摘要: A back contact solar cell assembly and methods for its manufacture and assembly onto a panel for use in space vehicles are described. The solar cell assembly includes a compound semiconductor multijunction solar cell having a contact at the top surface of the solar cell, a conductive semiconductor element extending from the contact on the top surface to the back surface of the assembly where it forms a first hack contact of a first polarity type, and a second back contact of a second polarity at the back surface of the assembly electrically coupled to the back surface of the solar cell.

    摘要: A solar cell panel or assembly including a string of solar cells, each solar cell having an oblique cut corner defining a space; a blocking diode positioned in correspondence with the space defined by said oblique cut corner; a first contact member connecting said blocking diode with the solar cell; a second contact member to connect said blocking diode to a metal bus bar; and a resistive element, connected in parallel to the blocking diode, between the first and the second contact members.

    摘要: A flexible solar cell assembly and methods for its manufacture are described. The flexible solar cell assembly comprises: solar cells comprising opposing top and back surfaces of different polarities, a contact at the top surface and a contact at the back surface; a flexible substrate; and conductive traces having end portions bonded to the top and bottom contacts of different solar cells so as to interconnect them in electrical series.
