Method for manufacturing and series interconnecting of photovoltaic elements to thin-layer solar module, involves structuring total area of module by structuring step so that breadth of segment is locally adjusted for generating current

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a method for manufacturing thin-layer photovoltaic (solar) modules in which the module area is divided into segments (cell strips) of variable breadth. The method adjusts the widths of these segments so that each produces a target amount of current, optimizing the overall module's electrical performance based on the local current-generating capacity across the module.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Production of thin-film solar panels with enhanced efficiency

Patent Abstract

The method involves calculating a maximum power point (MPP)-total current of a total solar module area by integration from a sum of determined local prevailing MPP-current densities. The MPP-total current divided by a number of segments i.e. cell strips (2), is determined as a target value for the densities. Each segment whose area is determined by a structuring step, is generated. A total area of a solar module (1) is structured by the step so that a breadth of each segment is locally adjusted for generating a current, which corresponds to a target value of the solar module, by each segment. An independent claim is also included for a solar module.
