SOLAR BATTERY Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering; power generation by converting energy of light rays into electrical energy. SUBSTANCE: solar battery is mounted on cellular-structure panel with carbon-plastic bearing surface and is assembled of modules formed by solar cells connected in series or in series-parallel with thermomechanical compensator by means of flat metal buses; shielding glass plate is attached through adhesive to front surface of each solar cell; stuck to rear surface of solar battery or its part is perforated film backing that covers all clearances between solar cells, greatest part of their rear surface being left open. EFFECT: enhanced reliability, facilitated assembly, reduced in- service degrading of power characteristics. 1 dwg, 1 ex
