Development and testing of shingle-type solar cell modules. Quarterly report No. 1
The initial task efforts to develop a shingle-type solar cell module, which is suitable for use in place of shingles on the sloping roof of residential or commercial buildings, are reported. Several promising shingle module design concepts are presented. Based on these concepts, development efforts are proceeding on bonding of solar cells to glass with polyvinyl butyral film, laminating the multilayer shingle substrate, and embedding solar cells within a methyl methacrylate casting. Testing of various fastener approaches for the interconnection of adjacent modules on the roof has been started. The configuration of each of these interconnector concepts is discussed.
