SOLAR CELL BATTERY Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC F24J2/52 

FIELD: heating.

SUBSTANCE: invention deals with design of solar cell batteries providing for immediate solar-to-electric energy conversion with the help of semiconductor photoconverters. Solar cell batteries are chiefly employed for power supply of spacecrafts. The solar cell battery consists of a frame, a bearing surface composed of orthogonal filaments and commuted electric modules of semiconductor photoconverters holder-fixed on the underlying surface with the holders glued to the module butt glass panel. To provide for reliability improvement and facilitation of photoconverter module mounting and underlying surface filament bonding at their intersection locations the metal holders are designed to be represented by plates with four blades to be deflected at mounting.

EFFECT: fixture rigidity and reliability combined with repairability of the structure.
