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.
