Presented at: 19th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, Paris, France, 7-11 juni 2004.
Abstract:
An alternative way for producing PV modules
is presented. These modules are equipped with back-contacted cells connected
to an interconnection foil by means of electrically conductive adhesives.
The interconnection foil is a modification of standard back-sheet foil.
The conductive adhesive is cured together with the EVA encapsulant,
which implies a single-shot interconnection and lamination cycle. The
savings in labor, reduction of machine equipment and a higher module
efficiency lead to a reduction of the ?/Wp price. Measurements show
that modules can be produced with a higher power output when compared
to modules using soldered standard cells. Outdoor test results show
the viability of the concept.
