SOLAR BATTERY Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering; solar light-to-electrical energy conversion engineering.

SUBSTANCE: proposed solar battery has frame that may be made of carbon-filled plastic or any other materials of definite profile and is assembled of flat panels with uniformly disposed compartments accommodating modules; the latter have switching busses interconnected in series or in series-parallel and to thermal expansion bend of solar cells. These solar cells are attached to peripheral film substrate by means of rear glass plates. Substrate is made of reinforced film and has ribbon projections for securing module to frame. Built into ribbon projections are embedded parts in the form of conducting wire sections. Modules are secured to frame by means of threads fixed to embedded members. Adjacent solar cells are connected into electric circuit over module perimeter by connecting flexible switching buses to thermal expansion bend with embedded members.

EFFECT: facilitated manufacture and servicing, as well as enhanced operating reliability of solar battery.
