PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE AND METHOD OF ITS MANUFACTURING Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC H01L31/48 H01L31/18 

FIELD: space solar energy.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related in particular to technologies for creating and assembling photovoltaic modules for power supply systems for spacecraft. The photovoltaic module contains at least one photovoltaic converter (PVC), while on the front and rear sides said converter is laminated with a composite encapsulating material containing fiberglass material impregnated with a polymer binder, and the front layer of the composite encapsulating material contains radiation-protective particles distributed throughout the volume material with the largest size being 100 mcm, and on the back side of the back layer of the composite encapsulating material there is a board that contains metal contacts deposited on it on the inner surface, to which contact bars from photoelectric converters are connected.

EFFECT: invention simplifies traditional technology of PV lamination for space applications, reduces the likelihood of defects during module assembly, reduces the weight of the photovoltaic module, increases its reliability during operation, and reduces the likelihood of module failure as a result of mechanical, thermomechanical and radiation effects.
