SOLAR BATTERY Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC H01L31/42 

FIELD: electrical engineering; solar batteries for solar-to-electrical energy conversion.

SUBSTANCE: proposed solar battery has frame with uniformly disposed locations and tightened net sheet in the form of orthogonally disposed strings and modules stitched to them. Modules have solar cells interconnected by means of conducting buses to form electric circuit and assembled into cell blocks. Each cell block may have two or more cells protected by means of single transparent plate attached to their rear and face sides, respectively. Solar cells are physically integrated within module by means of perforated film substrate inserted between rear plates and solar cells and attached to frame by stitching them at intersection points of their orthogonally disposed strings; the latter are spaced apart on frame through distance which is a multiple of geometric dimensions of cell blocks.

EFFECT: enhanced specific power, reduced mass, and facilitated assembly of solar battery.
