Issue Date: | 2017 | Source: | 33rd EU PVSEC Proceedings, p. 64 -67 | Abstract: | In this work we present a new technology for simultaneously interconnecting and encapsulating bifacial busbarless solar cells, using a multi-wire approach combined with weaving technology. A background discussion on existing multi-wire interconnection technologies allows to compare this new approach, which potentially improves performance and reliability and reduces process complexity and costs. After a more in-depth review of the weaving aspects, an extensive experimental campaign has been performed to optimize the combined interconnection/lamination process and obtain homogeneous solder joints. Preliminary thermal cycling tests have been executed, showing the stability and reliability of the solder joint contacts on 1-cell glass-glass laminates. Finally, the realization of a 2x2-cell-module proof-of-concept demonstrates the technical viability and performance of the technology. | Keywords: | Interconnection;bifacial;multiwire | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/34069 | ISBN: | 3936338477 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
