Method for delivering a flexible solar cell to a roll-to-roll module assembly process

摘要

Methods and systems are provided for forming and packaging a roll of photovoltaic cells. The string of photovoltaic cells are incrementally formed so that the photovoltaic cells in the string extend from the leading edge of the string and incrementally forming the string is a continuous photovoltaic Sequential connection of successive photovoltaic cells is achieved by sequentially connecting successive photovoltaic cells by connecting each successive photovoltaic cell to a respective previously connected To the photovoltaic cell. The bypass diode is electrically connected to successive portions of the string when the string is formed. The string is wound in a roll with a bypass diode connected thereto by rotating the leading edge of the string around the take-up roller while the string is being formed. In response to the string arriving at a second predetermined number of photovoltaic cells, the roll is completed and packaged.(FIG.
