Integrated array of photovoltaic cells having minimized shorting losses
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5485390
There are disclosed an integrated array of photovoltaic cells each comprising, on a support, a first electrode segment, a semiconductor segment, and a second electrode segment; and a process for making it, wherein no insulating material need be applied to exposed semiconductor materials before applying the second electrode segment. The array is composed of sub-cells, groups of which are series-connected to form sub-arrays. The subarrays are in turn connected in parallel so that a short in any one sub-cell only minimally affects the output of the entire array.
