Formed photovoltaic module busbars
Abstract
A photovoltaic system including a cell connection piece coupled to a plurality of photovoltaic cells and a terminal of a junction box. The cell connection piece includes an interconnect bus, a plurality of bus tabs unitarily formed with the interconnect bus, and a terminal bus coupled with the interconnect bus. The plurality of bus tabs extend from the interconnect bus. The terminal bus includes a nonlinear portion.
